Who Should Apply

Those seeking quantitative and analytic skills for clinical, population, or health services research, or those interested in health policy or health care administration, such as:

• Physicians
• Nurse Practitioners
• Physician Assistants
• Other healthcare professionals

Ideally applicants should have:

• A mentored environment to apply the skills learned
• A position in a hospital or medical school
• Minimal clinical responsibilities during the 6-week course

Typically, PCE applicants have completed their residency training; however, those who are in a residency program with dedicated research time are encouraged to apply. The PCE cannot be completed by those currently in medical school. We encourage applications from individuals from minority groups, but race and ethnicity will not be considered in the selection process.
