The Departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Microbiology and Immunology; Pharmacology and Toxicology; and Physiology at the Brody School of Medicine (BSOM) participate in a doctor of philosophy in biomedical sciences. The program is administered through the Office of Research and Graduate Studies  which also offers a doctor of philosophy in interdisciplinary biological sciences. The educational objectives of these doctoral programs are to foster scholarship, critical analysis, and creative research activity in a particular field of study. Additionally, the Office of Research and Graduate Studies  administers a master of science in biomedical sciences.

The BSOM Department of Public Health  offers a doctor of public health, a master of public health, and two post-baccalaureate certificate programs (ethnic and rural health disparities and public health foundations and practice). A MD/MPH dual degree program is is also available for currently enrolled medical students who have passed the STEP 1 exam, and for physicians in residency training programs. These programs prepare students for management and leadership positions in public health and the health care fields.

Courses  are also offered by a number of BSOM departments beyond those offering graduate programs. These courses cover a range of topics, such interdisciplinary rural health education (IRHE), medical humanities (HUMS), comparative medicine (CMED), neuroscience (NEUR), oncology (ONCO), pathology (PATH), and radiation oncology (RONC).

Additional information about the BSOM is available on the school’s website.
