Introduction
The Master of Medical Science (MMS) Program is a flexible and cost-effective academic opportunity for UTMB clinicians interested in performing biomedical research to validate, recognize, and enhance their research experience. The category of clinicians encompasses dentists, veterinarians, and physicians, including residents, fellows, and faculty of UTMB clinical departments. The program is only open to applicants from within the UTMB community.
The Master of Medical Science Graduate Program provides individualized guidance, training, and support to educate clinicians in critical aspects of biomedical research. The program may also be viewed as part of a path to become a biomedical scientist. These goals are achieved through the following five MMS Program Objectives:
Promote the development of in-depth knowledge of research methodology, data analysis, and critical thinking.
Generate opportunities to interact and collaborate with basic scientists and physician-scientists involved in cutting edge technologies.
Provide a formal research experience with medical applications.
Provide opportunities to develop an awareness of positive social, ethical, and scientific perspectives.
Prepare students for a career in academic medicine.
