:: The specific objectives of the Ph.D. Program in Biomedical Sciences are:

• To train advanced students in scientific methods and techniques necessary to conduct modern biological and clinical research.
• To produce significant research accomplishments during the course of training.
• To train advanced students to communicate academic knowledge and research findings to classroom and professional audiences.
• To prepare the next generation of researchers and educators to join faculties of basic sciences and of clinical specialty departments in major research universities.
