UCSF Implementation Science Online Training Program

The UCSF Implementation Science Online Training Program is a part-time program consisting of a series of six online courses focused on theories and methods relevant to the design of strategies to facilitate uptake of health-related interventions. Scholars can choose to take individual courses instead of completing all six courses required for the Certificate. The program is designed for people from a broad range of professional settings who are currently engaged in the development, implementation, and evaluation of strategies to promote and improve health and health care quality, including clinical and public health researchers, quality improvement officers, community-based clinic staff, public health and public policy practitioners, and clinicians. The program welcomes trainees who work in clinical and public health settings outside the U.S.

Objectives

Upon completion of the program, scholars will be able to:

• Identify appropriate health interventions to translate into practice.
• Design effective and sustainable implementation strategies.
• Design comprehensive evaluations of intervention implementation strategies.
• Develop fundable implementation science grant proposals.

Eligibility

This program is ideal for scholars who are actively involved in implementing a health intervention or quality improvement program. Although not required, prior training in qualitative and/or quantitative research methods will enable scholars to best take advantage of the curriculum.

Courses and Registration

Six courses are available in through the fall, winter, and spring. Registration begins on June 15, 2018 for all courses.

Cost

The fee for each course is $2000 for individuals affiliated with UCSF and UC Berkeley and $2500 for individuals not affiliated with UCSF or UC Berkeley.
