Masters of Medical Science – Bradenton

The MMS program is a one-year non-thesis degree program designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for long-term professional and career development. The MMS program enhances critical thinking skills, teamwork strategies, and provides a foundation of knowledge in biomedical sciences. Through a curriculum that includes both lecture-based coursework and problem-based learning sessions, students develop skills to integrate biomedical sciences into clinical cases. These skills are directly transferable, enabling students to academically success in other LECOM programs centered in problem-based learning curriculum; such as in the LECOM College of Osteopathic Medicine and the School of Dental Medicine.
