Graduate Program Opportunity: Biomedical Masters Program at the University of Pittsburgh


The BMP is a 12 month, 32 credit Master of Science program that focuses on graduate level science training and investigative thinking through rigorous academic inquiry and experiential learning opportunities based in research and practice.

Our mission is to provide students with the training necessary to succeed in admissions and thrive throughout their health sciences professional program, and to cultivate lifelong learning skills and other development needed to flourish in their chosen careers.

The BMP is organized as follows:

               

  • Core courses covering the major basic sciences (Biochemistry, Physiology, Cell Biology, Pharmacology, Analysis of Disease, Method and Logic in Biomedicine)
  • Elective courses which are tailored to each specific student
  • Individualized mentoring and coaching including academic advising, career development, and professional coaching.
  • Courses and one-on-one mentoring on career planning, specialty exploration, professionalism, and non-cognitive development
  • Experiential training including laboratory research, clinical shadowing, patient service and volunteering. These activities are combined to fit the needs of each specific student
  • The BMP has a limited number of scholarships that are awarded to cover part of the student’s tuition expenses, primarily based on financial need, in addition to underrepresentation in Medicine and Science, geographical origin, family status, and personal history
