Maintaining a robust pipeline of talent flowing into the health care field includes training the next generation of academic scientists, physician leaders and allied health professionals for the future of health care and biomedical science.
Preparing those specialists is the mission of the new Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University, which will integrate clinical, basic and translational scientific research education in an academic medical center, offering a breadth of advanced research and vocational programs aimed at creating health care and scientific leaders.
Students will gain a better understanding of human disease, how best to treat individuals and populations, enhance disease prevention and elevate the overall health of communities. These programs will also spur innovation and nurture thought leaders in medical education.
Cedars-Sinai already is home to more than 315 graduate students and postdoctoral scientists and 540 medical residents and fellows. Among other academic paths, the Health Sciences University will offer a new doctoral degree program in health artificial intelligence in 2025 with a focus on analyzing clinical data to enhance patient care.
Regardless of the discipline or area of research, students in the university will be matched with clinical partners who will provide mentorship and training throughout the duration of their programs.
“We are proudly committed to developing high-achieving academic investigators and educators in disease-focused science,” said Peter L. Slavin, M.D., president and CEO of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Health System.
