Laboratory or literature investigations of problems of current interest in the medical sciences.

BMS 5005 Introduction to the Professions of Medicine. F, S.
Credits: 3
The history, current status and future of the science and practice of medicine are surveyed from the perspectives of the major medical disciplines. Topics range from surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry and other clinical areas of medicine to topics on pharmacology, immunology and cell biology. The course is designed for preprofessional and graduate students with an interest in medicine.

Interdisciplinary Programs

For well-qualified undergraduates who receive departmental permission, two programs for individual interdisciplinary majors exist within the College of Medicine: one in neurobiological sciences and the other in biochemistry and molecular biology. Both of these programs are offered in cooperation with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The former involves course work in the Department of Neuroscience and related disciplines and the latter involves course work in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Both programs involve independent laboratory research and additional elective courses. Applications should be made to the concerned departments in the sophomore or early junior year.
