Certificate of Graduate
Study, Biomedical Sciences
This
one-year certificate program offers graduate level
training in a number of areas of biomedical sciences. It is
designed for
individuals seeking to
enhance further their background in the basic health
sciences prior to entry into professional schools including
medical, dental, veterinary and osteopathic
medicine schools.
This program is not intended
to provide undergraduate-level training in pre-medical
course work needed to get admission into medical or
professional schools. Instead, the program is
designed to make post-baccalaureate students more
competitive for admission
through extensive graduate-level course work in the areas of
anatomy, genetics, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry,
cell and molecular biology, and neuroscience along with
several other courses in the biomedical sciences.
In addition, students will attend sessions in the
ethics of medical science, MCAT (or similar) preparation and
the preparation of a professional school application. There
will also be mock admissions committee interviews and other
sessions focusing on successful admission to medical school.
It is expected that
students will enter the program at the beginning of the fall
semester and will make applications to medical school at the
end of the fall semester or the beginning of the spring
semester.
