Academic-industrial cooperative graduate program in clinical pharmacology.
Because a new level of sophistication among clinical investigators is necessary for the testing of new agents in human subjects, a close integration of basic science, clinical medicine, and pharmaceutical medicine is required. Experts from the Departments of Pharmacology and Medicine at Temple University School of Medicine and Smith Kline and French Laboratories have combined to form a joint training program in clinical pharmacology. This structured graduate program for physicians couples didactic courses with a defined program of independent research, leading to a Master of Science degree in pharmacology. The development of new technologies and the transfer of them from the "bench to the bedside" demands that the clinician have special competence in clinical pharmacology. This unique joint academic-industrial program sets the goals ensuring that this objective is met.
