The Master of Health Science in Translational Research in Health Sciences (MHSc in Translational Research) is a professional master’s degree program intended for highly trained students with a background in the health sciences such as clinical researchers, medical professionals, basic or social scientists who want to learn how to mobilize research discoveries, and medical knowledge into medical, social or policy innovation.  Translational research “involves moving knowledge and discovery gained from the basic sciences to its application in clinical and community settings”–from laboratory bench to patient bedside.  Translational Research requires professionals who have a breadth of knowledge; are able to communicate using a variety of media channels and methodologies; and can apply iterative—repetitious refining processes, through design thinking in multidisciplinary teams across multiple knowledge silos. The two-year, 8-FCE masters degree program is intended to educate professionals who can make connections between research and care; work in interdisciplinary, collaborative teams; and design techniques that move research towards application.
