Graduate Training Programs in Clinical Investigation

The Graduate Training Programs in Clinical Investigation (GTPCI) are the first of their kind.

A joint venture between the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH) and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (SOM), GTPCI trains clinicians to become clinical scientists.

Students gain the skills necessary to design and conduct clinical investigations of emerging medical treatments and technologies, and to apply new diagnostic techniques and approaches to the study of human pathophysiology.

Effective August 2023, GTPCI is introducing four academic pathways for PhD and MHS students: General Clinical Investigation (including clinical trials), Data Science (including machine learning and artificial intelligence), Disease Oriented Studies, and Health Services Research.  These pathways allow students more options to choose coursework relevant to their academic interests.

We work mostly with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and other allied health professionals working with human subjects in clinical investigation.

Our graduates pursue careers in academia, and as independent clinical investigators at pharmaceutical firms, federal research, public health, and regulatory agencies.
