Overview

Key facts

It is comprised of three main components:

Graduate courses in the biomedical sciences

Advanced teaching courses coupled with a one-on-one mentored teaching experience (the Vesalius Certificate)

Primary biomedical research resulting in a written thesis

The first year in the Anatomy and Neurobiology program, offered by Boston University, is devoted to establishing an advanced understanding of the biomedical sciences and neurosciences. Students take Medical Gross Anatomy and Medical Neurosciences in the first semester alongside first-year medical and graduate students. In the second semester of the first year, students continue with biomedical science courses, taking courses from a wide selection of electives and seminar courses. In addition, students take Teaching in the Biomedical Sciences, a special graduate course designed to expose the student to the theory and practice of education in the biomedical sciences.

During the second year, students put theory into practice. The environment of the medical school classroom that the students experienced firsthand in their initial year serves as the platform upon which they apply the techniques and principles to become effective educators. They work closely with faculty to refine their teaching techniques in small groups and large lectures. The second year is also spent conducting a research project. This work, mentored by a faculty member, teaches the student how to perform primary biomedical research and culminates in a written independent research thesis.
