Congratulations to National Health Promotion Associates’ Christopher Williams, Ph.D. who received a certificate of completion with honors from Harvard Medical School’s Global Clinical Scholars Research Training Program.

The year-long program provides researchers and clinicians with advanced training in the conduct of clinical trials with emphasis in biostatistics and epidemiology. The program draws scholars from around the globe and encourages collaboration to address critical public health concerns. Through a blended learning approach including traditional face-to-face teaching sessions, online lecture supported by interactive webinars, and team and individual assignments, scholars are trained in statistical analysis and the design of clinical trials.

When Dr. Williams was asked to reflect on completing the training, he replied, “The program was rigorous and intellectually stimulating.  I was most impressed by the drive and passion of Harvard faculty and my fellow scholars.  Regardless of previous training or specialty, everyone has the same goal of improving health outcomes, and reducing disease burden through evidence-based research and practice.”

Dr. Williams is Senior Vice President at NHPA, the training and development firm for the Botvin LifeSkills Training program, a college lecturer, and serves as principal investigator on National Institutes of Health-funded trials.
