The medical teaching programs in the department are designed
to combine a core of basic knowledge with an understanding of fundamental
principles. Courses in Physiology and Pharmacology include clinical correlation
sessions to connect lecture and reading material to the practice of clinical
medicine and dentistry. A combined M.D./Ph.D.
program is also offered. In addition, opportunities exist for students and
clinicians who wish to pursue research related to any of our Faculty
Research Interests. The department is strongly committed to its educational
role at all levels, and strives to integrate top quality research with
excellence in education.
