Practicum
All students in the MD/MS and MS in Systems Medicine program are required to undergo a practicum/Internship as part of their degree requirements. The practicum typically takes one year to complete for the MD/MS and one semester for the MS degree students. It is conducted in parallel with the coursework. Below you will find two examples of typical practica projects as well as a list of current mentors currently working with our students. Upon completion, the practicum/Internship is expected to result in a peer-reviewed publication or a Poster. Student publications have been published on PubMed.
