Biomedical Science Program Leading to a Master of Science Degree
LECOM now offers a two-year, biomedical
sciences curriculum that includes a more comprehensive learning opportunity for college students
who want to pursue careers in medicine, pharmacy and other health and science related
professions.
The Biomedical Sciences program, leading to the Master of Science degree, is a
graduate-level program intended for post baccalaureate students who wish to enhance their
understanding of the biomedical sciences and improve their overall profile to gain admission to
medical school, pharmacy school, a biomedical Ph.D. program or enter the biomedical science
workplace (e.g. the pharmaceutical industry). Through coursework, research design and experience
and a comprehensive thesis project, this program will produce a well-qualified graduate ready to
incorporate the challenges of modern medicine into his or her field of work. Successful completion
of all phases of the Biomedical Science program will lead to the awarding of a Master of Science
degree by the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM).
The program is founded on
the following goals and objectives:
Goal I: Acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes of
the basic biomedical sciences necessary for a career in the health professions.
Objectives:
1.
Successfully complete a lecture-based curriculum in cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology,
genetics, histology, physiology, anatomy, microbiology, virology, pharmacology and toxicology.
2. Successfully complete electives in at
least one of the following: anatomy, physiology, biochemistry/cell biology, microbiology, clinical
pharmacology or medical education.
3.
Participate in anatomy and microbiology laboratory experiences.
Goal II: Correlate the basic
biomedical sciences with clinical applications in the health professions
Objectives:
1.
Successfully complete a lecture-based curriculum in pathology and Introduction to Osteopathic
Medicine.
2. Present and participate in
seminar topics in pathology and the Biomedical Science Journal Club.
Goal III: Develop basic
biomedical research skills
Objectives:
1. Successfully complete Biostatistics and
Research Design courses.
2. Develop an
original research proposal.
3.
Successfully complete the research project, write a thesis and publicly defend the research.
