The Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University is a two-year program for physicians leading to a Master of Science degree in Clinical Research Methods. Beginning in July 2004, the program began teaching data analysis using Stata 8 in order to better meet the advanced statistical needs of the students. This paper details the structure and content of the course, how Stata was introduced, and the problems we encountered. Student comments and suggestions on future enhancements to Stata are included. Although challenging, our first semester teaching Stata was a success: the students all learned Stata and, more importantly, continued to use it for the analysis of their own research data after the course was complete.

Purpose Using a mixed-methods approach, this study evaluated a Master of Science program in Clinical and Translational Research (MSCTR) geared toward training physicians in research methodology. The purpose of this study is to allow trainees to articulate their expectations, needs and experiences in the MSCTR and to develop novel training methods and/or curriculum modifications to improve physician-scholar training. Design/methodology/approach The mixed-method study design with qualitative emphasis included interviews, participant journal entries and a survey. Interview and journal entry data were analyzed using a modified seven-stage hermeneutic analysis and survey data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings Findings suggest three major areas for improvement, namely, curriculum, mentorship/relationships and instructional methods. Concluding recommendations to address these three areas include: make ongoing curriculum updates to provide a sequential pathway but also allow for flexibility, improve statistical training, invest in online courses and create a more structured mentorship program. Originality/value Extant research, though minimal, has evaluated clinical research training programs in terms of alumni productivity. However, this is the first study of its kind to examine a clinical research training program primarily qualitatively and from the perspective of its students and alumni.

Formative Years

Leo Max Davidoff was one of the outstanding students of Harvey Cushing, who helped create the discipline of modern neurological surgery. In his own right, Dr. Davidoff was a pioneer who made significant contributions both in neurosurgery and neuroradiology. He also helped to found the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. This paper describes his early life and education, together with his participation in the MacMillan Arctic Expedition of 1925.
