The MSCE is an intensive program at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, designed for accomplished medical professionals who seek advanced training in clinical epidemiology. Students receive rigorous preparation in epidemiological research, biostatistics, protocol development, and critical appraisal of medical literature. The curriculum includes a combination of required core courses, electives, and mentored research leading to a thesis. Individualized mentoring enables students to design, implement, and analyze original research projects, preparing them for academic and research-oriented careers in medicine and health sciences. The program typically requires 14 course units and features close mentorship from a primary faculty advisor and a thesis requirement, with most students completing the degree in two to three years. 来源： https://www.med.upenn.edu/mpp/application-requirements-ms-certificate/
