The Sackler School offers several opportunities to take courses and to participate in research to individuals who have not applied or matriculated into one of our degree programs.
Certificate in Clinical Research
The Sackler School is pleased to announce the Certificate in Clinical Research Program. Developed by the Clinical Research Program faculty and offered as a partnership between the Sackler School and the Tufts Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, the program is specifically designed for physicians and health care professionals who seek training in clinical research but do not wish to commit to a degree program.
Special Students
Special Student status allows individuals to register for Sackler courses without applying to a specific graduate program. A special student could be an employee of Tufts University, a graduate of a Sackler School program or other programs at Tufts, or someone who is not a member of the Tufts community and wishes to take a course.
Undergraduate Summer Research Program
The Sackler School offers a summer research program for students interested in pursuing research careers in the biomedical sciences. Applicants must be enrolled in a four-year undergraduate program and have successfully completed at least one year of college. In addition, applicants must be US citizens or US permanent residents. The NIH and the Sackler School encourage applications from members of groups that are under-represented in the biomedical sciences.
Post-Baccalaureate Internship Program
The Sackler School offers a mentored research experience designed to prepare individuals who have completed bachelor’s degree training for MD/PhD or PhD study. Applicants must be US citizens or US permanent residents. The NIH and the Sackler School encourage applications from members of groups that are under-represented in the biomedical sciences.
