Master of Science in Medical Health Sciences
Welcome to the Master of Science in Medical Health Sciences (MSMHS) program at Touro University California.
This program is designed to enrich a students academic knowledge base as well as
to strengthen a prospective medical students credentials for admission to medical
school. This one-year program allows for an optional Medical College Admissions Test
(MCAT) preparation course, followed by both a rigorous graduate curriculum in the
basic medical sciences and a semester long research internship with mentor faculty.
The faculty at Touro University are committed to education and the development of
innovative and effective educational strategies. Sudents will engage in a rigorous
graduate curriculum, consisting of courses in all areas of basic sciences: Anatomy,
Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Physiology, Cell Biology, Pharmacology, and Immunology
and Microbiology. The content and rigor of these courses will be similar to medical
school and will therefore offer students a sense of the challenges of a medical school
curriculum.
In addition to spring semester coursework, students will participate in a research
internship in the spring semester with one of the faculty. This internship will culminate
in an oral and written presentation. Students will have a broad range of research
areas to choose from, including drug design for HIV, microbiology, ion channels, cancer,
diabetes, Alzheimer’s, neuronal development, obesity, and public health.
After completion of the program, a student will have increased his/her basic medical
science knowledge base, will have been fully engaged in a research project, and will
have a much stronger application to medical school.
We welcome any inquiries regarding our campus and our program and look forward to
your participation in this program.
