Foundation Year Biomedical Sciences Courses MS in Biomedical Sciences Degree
The foundation year of the Biomedical Sciences program focuses on developing each
student’s biomedical sciences and professional skills base while providing the opportunity
to demonstrate professional and academic potential by improving and confirming academic
credentials.
Upon completion of the foundation year of the Biomedical Sciences program, the student
will be able to:
demonstrate an advanced understanding of important fundamental concepts of the biomedical
sciences (i.e., structure and function of cells and organ systems, etc.).
communicate scientific information in written and oral forms.
apply information skills to access, synthesize and interpret medical literature.
utilize technology to acquire information and solve problems in health sciences.
MS in Biomedical Sciences degree candidates must successfully complete foundation
year coursework in order to progress to a second-year degree concentration. The following
example course sequence is for students enrolled at PCOM. Course offerings and sequence
are subject to change.
