Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences (IGPBS)
The Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences (IGPBS) offers students a unique opportunity to experience laboratory rotations with faculty members across departmental lines following the first year of studies before selecting a PhD mentor. Once "matched" with a mentor, the student matriculates in the department of their research mentor (major professor) and completes additional departmental requirements and a dissertation project under the direction of the student's dissertation advisory committee.

“The unique thing about our PhD program is that, in most cases, the graduate students are also clinical residents, so they get a unique exposure to both worlds.”
