The Duke University School of Medicine announces an innovative one-year professional masterâ€™s degree, the Master of Biomedical Sciences (MBS). The goal of this program is to enhance the scientific and professional preparation of students aspiring to a career in the health professions or in a related field requiring graduate level biomedical sciences. Students will bolster their preparation for further study or entry into the biomedical workforce by completing a rigorous combination of multidisciplinary graduate level coursework, immersive patient-centered service learning, individualized electives, advising, and professional development. Distinguishing features of Dukeâ€™s MBS program: Located within the Duke University School of Medicine in the heart of a major academic medical center that includes the Duke University Hospital, the Duke Medicine Pavilion, Duke Clinics, Duke Cancer Center, and the Duke Clinical Research Institute; Graduate level coursework in the human biological sciences designed specifically for and dedicated to MBS students; Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training, certification, and experience. MBS students will be members of an interprofessional health care team, not shadows or observers; Gross anatomy course with cadaveric dissection that is integrated with the EMT curriculum and revisited during other core courses; Team-based learning and small group seminars focusing on communication, team work, professional formation, ethics; Instruction, advising, and mentoring by faculty leaders in Dukeâ€™s highly rated medical student, physician assistant, and doctor of physical therapy programs in addition to Duke Universityâ€™s Office of Health Professions Advising; Electives to meet individual needs and interests; Scholarship assistance (merit and need-based); Vibrant Duke University and Durham community. We hope to match our students with the best opportunities for success in the health professions and/or related biomedical fields. MBS students will learn the language of human medicine (e.g. anatomy and biological systems) as well as the context of clinical care (e.g. patients and cliniciansâ€™ perspectives, health delivery systems).
