Description:
If you are interested in a career in academic medicine as a physician
scientist, this program may be ideal for you. It will prepare you to become
a medical practitioner and faculty member at a university medical center
where you will teach medical and graduate students, and, as a scientist,
will be involved with biomedical research. After completion of the program,
you will receive both the M.D. and Ph.D. degrees.
If your undergraduate performance has been outstanding, you may qualify
for the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). This program provides
financial support in the form of a Research Assistantship from the first
year of enrollment through the completion of the Ph.D., health insurance,
and tuition scholarships for enrollment in the School of Medicine and
Graduate School of BiomedicalSciences.

Description:
The faculty of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology offers broad
based programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy
degrees in Medical Microbiology. The Master's degree ordinarily requires two
years to complete. The student takes 30 hours of course work, develops a
research project under the supervision of a faculty advisor, and writes a
thesis based on the outcome of the research.
The program of study for the Ph.D. degree is determined by the student's
advisor and appointed advisory committee. After completion of the course
work, the student takes a qualifying examination. A Ph.D. dissertation,
based on the results of original research, is written and defended by the
student. Completion of a Master's degree is not a prerequisite for entrance
into the doctoral program. A minimum of three years of graduate study beyond
the Bachelor's degree is required for the Ph.D. degree.
