MMS Prog. - Masters in Med. Science
Courses
MMSP 501S Research in Medical Science I 6.0 Credits
Research in Medical Science is a two-semester sequence that partners with MMSP-503S and MMSP-504S to extend and enrich the research experience for second year MMS students. Students will engage in original, hands-on research under the guidance of a mentor scientist. A Research Proposal will be developed in collaboration with the Research Mentor and submitted for timely review and approval to the Oversight Committee, comprising faculty within the Graduate School. Once approved, the student will pursue the research project proposed under the direct supervision of their research mentor.
Repeat Status: Can be repeated 1 times for 12 credits
MMSP 502S Research in Medical Science II 6.0 Credits
College/Department: COM School of Biomedical Sciences & Professional Studies
Repeat Status: Not repeatable for credit
MMSP 503S Research Seminar I 3.0 Credits
Research seminar is a two-semester sequence that partners with MMSP-501-S to extend and enrich the research experience for MMS students. In seminar, students will have a forum to discuss their ongoing research projects in a rigorous but supportive environment. Students will be challenged to present their research in several formats as described below. Further, students will be expected to provide constructive but critical peer-reviews of each other’s in-class presentations.
Repeat Status: Can be repeated 2 times for 9 credits
MMSP 504S Research Seminar II 3.0 Credits
Research seminar is a two‐semester sequence that partners with MMSP‐502‐S to extend and enrich the research experience for MMS students. In seminar, students will have a forum to discuss their ongoing research projects in a rigorous but supportive environment. Students will be challenged to present their research in several formats. Further, students will be expected to provide constructive but critical peer‐reviews of each others in‐class presentations.
Repeat Status: Can be repeated 2 times for 9 credits
Prerequisites: MMSP 503S [Min Grade: C]
MMSP 505S Introduction to Biomedical Research 2.0 Credits
Introduction to Biomedical Research is a 2-credit research course that permits the MMS student to extend their research experience under the tutelage of their research mentor. Fall-starting students would be able to begin their research experience in the spring of their first year. Spring-start MMS students would be able to begin their research experience fall of their second semester. The course provides students with a structured, but limited, introduction to their lab of choice. The student can use this time to develop their research proposal and begin learning necessary techniques required for their research studies.

MMSP 510S Lab Tech In Bioc & Molec Biol 2.0 Credits
College/Department: COM School of Biomedical Sciences & Professional Studies
Repeat Status: Not repeatable for credit
MMSP 520S Medical Pathology I 6.0 Credits
This course serves as a bridge between the basic sciences and clinical material. The course material enables the student to learn the language of human disease and provides a knowledge base relating to the mechanisms of disease and the approach to a pathologic diagnosis. Following several introductory sessions, where basic pathological processes are introduced, the course is taught in an organ system approach.
