The superior quality of research and excellent presentations are being credited to the students and to their mentors. Congratulations! This program is consistent with the traditional unsurpassed quality of science and education at CPDR. Summer Training is vital part of the CPDR’s Education Program and serves as a very important public service towards the education of future generations of medical doctors and scientists.

The CPDR mission is fulfilled primarily through its three principal programs – the Clinical Research Center, the Basic Science Research Program and the National Multicenter Prostate Cancer Database– and through a robust education and training program that operates out of its Headquarters location, the Clinical Research Center, and the original laboratories at USUHS. CPDR is also committed to patient outreach, primarily through its affiliation with the WRAMC US TOO! organization and through a heavy schedule of health fairs in which it participates.
