About

Overview The 2017-2018 academic year inaugurated a redesign of the curriculum of the Medical Sciences program of The University of Toledo, with renewed emphasis on an organ-systems based approach where clinical and graduate faculty train students in the pathophysiology of disease and pharmacological interventions. The graduate-level courses in our curriculum incorporate materials taught to medical students during the first and second years of medical school, thus setting foundational information on the MD curriculum. Since pathophysiology of disease is a key component of USMLE exams, the new MSBS-MS curriculum has the potential to increase our student scores on Step 1 and Step 2. The MSBS-MS program also provides a unique opportunity for students to achieve meaningful clinical and/or basic science research experience. UT’s basic and clinical science faculty mentor students through their year-round Scholarly Project, allowing students to expand their view on experimental sciences while adding a strong component to their academic credentials.Primary ObjectivesThe MSBS-MS program primary objectives can be summarized as follows: I want to find another Master Course Provide clinically relevant, medical graduate-level education to students who wish to boost their academic credentials towards their goal of pursuing a career in medicine.Create strong foundations for improved performance in any MD/DO curriculum, and in the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 1 and Step 2-Clinical Knowledge exams.Provide research opportunities to broaden student view on biomedical research.Students completing the MSBS-MS program with strong academic performance will have confirmed their ability to perform in any medical school curriculum, thus greatly strengthening their admissions package.The MSBS-MS program also provides students with insights into the medical school interview process with mock interview sessions and guidance from medical school students and faculty. Students meeting all prerequisites for UTCOM and who are in good academic standing within the MSBS-MS program, have a guaranteed medical school interview at the University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences. This demonstrates our confidence in the competitiveness of the program and reasserts our commitment to high quality of medical education. Students who successfully complete the program will be awarded the Masters in Biomedical Sciences-Medical Sciences (MSBS-MS). Completion of this degree is a requirement, but not a guarantee of admission, for MSBS-MS students seeking admission into the MD degree program at University of Toledo medical school.

The Medical Sciences program of The University of Toledo is a one-year postbaccalaureate premedical graduate program of the College of Medicine and Life Sciences. Is designed to provide students who have completed all prerequisites for medical school with resources to enhance their academic credentials as they pursue a career in medicine.
