Among these will be opportunities to attend tailored workshops, seminars, research forums, and graduate-level classes. A major focus in the second year will be preparing scholars for, and applying to, graduate school. This program is intended to provide research experience for those individuals intending to pursue research oriented biomedical science degree programs, such as those offering the PhD or MD/PhD degrees. The program does not provide additional preparation for those seeking to pursue an MD or other health-related degrees.
