The application of rigorous epidemiologic methods to clinical questions has broadened the scope of research in epidemiology and enhanced the quality of clinical research. The International Clinical Epidemiology Network (INCLEN) has enabled physicians from developing countries to obtain training in epidemiologic methods and to provide leadership in clinical epidemiology in their home schools of medicine. The INCLEN program has recently incorporated another major theme of research training, clinical economics, which introduces research related to the effective use of limited resources. This article describes the rationale for the development of the INCLEN Clinical Economics program, outlines its organization and curriculum, and explores the challenges to its successful implementation.
