The semester-long two credit course, Clinical Research in Health Disparities and Community Engagement, is an integral part of the didactic training of MD and PhD ACTSI trainees and a requirement in the Master of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR) program. The course was developed and is co-directed by the CERP course coordinators, Drs. Ellen Yancey and Winifred Thompson. A candidate textbook is Community-Based Health Research: Issues and Methods (Springer, New York, 2004), co-edited by the CERP director Dr. Daniel Blumenthal, MSM and Dr. Ralph DiClemente, Emory.

The course is required of all students in the MSCR program at Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) and Emory. The class meets in the community at the Jane Fonda Center, which is located on the “Emory West” campus, about midway between the main Emory campus and the MSM campus.
