Welcome to UVM’s Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) graduate program! CTS is a field where the possibilities in research are endless. Our graduate programs provide the building blocks you need to propose or support research that makes a difference.
You’ll learn to design, conduct, analyze, and report clinical and translational research. While you practice your skills, you’ll hone your creativity and passion to make a positive impact.
I am a residency and fellowship-trained board-certified pharmacist investigator. I have had research funding from federal and state sources, involving ambulatory medication safety, outcomes research, and clinical quality improvement. I serve as both the Director of Clinical and Translational Science and am the Quality Scholar for the Department of Medicine.
One of my most rewarding roles is mentoring students at all levels in health services research, quality improvement, and patient safety projects.
To your success,
Amanda G. Kennedy, PharmD, BCPS
