Students in all
eight basic biomedical training programs of the Sackler School
participate in a similar educational experience that facilitates
movement across areas of concentration. Each Program offers
opportunities for the development of oral and written presentation
skills through seminars, research presentations and journal
clubs. Exposure to laboratory research begins with a minimum
of four rotations, usually completed within the first year.
All students take a course in Scientific Ethics and must complete
a proposal-based Qualifying Examination within the first two
years.
Students complete the majority of their didactic courses in
the first year; the remaining courses are usually completed
in the second year, but can be taken anytime. This allows
students to begin their thesis dissertation research early
in their graduate careers. All Programs require coursework
emphasizing basic principles and concepts in biochemistry,
molecular biology, genetics, and cell biology, with additional
courses specific to the area of concentration.
Students in four of the eight basic biomedical training programs
(the Integrated
Programs) of the Sackler School share a joint admissions
process and first year academic program. They become affiliated
with one of the programs (Biochemistry; Cell, Molecular,
and Developmental Biology; Cellular and Molecular Physiology,
or Neuroscience) after completion of the first year.
Each Sackler School student selects a thesis lab based on
his or her research focus upon completion of the first year.
Most students choose a member of the admitting program(s)
for thesis research. It is possible, however, to carry out
thesis research with a mentor who is not listed in the admitting
program if either: i) the student switches to a program in
which the prospective mentor participates; or ii) the student’s
home program adds the prospective mentor to its faculty.
In either case, efforts are made to minimize additional course
requirements.
