Summer Program in Clinical Effectiveness
The PCE is designed for individuals seeking quantitative and analytic skills needed for clinical research and health care administration. A joint program between Mass General Brigham, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health & Harvard Medical School.
The Workload
The PCE is a fast-paced, rigorous program. Ideally, students will be free of all clinical responsibilities during the 6-week period. This enables them to commit fully to the intense, yet very rewarding, curriculum. In addition to three classes daily, students often have afternoon computer labs. The PCE involves a considerable amount of homework. In the past, approximately 20% of participants spent, on average, over 20 hours each week on homework assignments.
