Develop your customizable program

Each semester, you’ll attend scientific seminars that expose you to current basic science and clinical research.

Our customizable seminars are a key feature of our program. Each week, you’ll choose a different one-hour seminar to attend. These seminars — along with your capstone project — allow you to tailor our program to your needs; they give you the opportunity to pursue areas that align with your personal interests and identify new areas of interest.
