Mission
生物学是对生命世界的探索,强调并解释了生命的统一性和多样性. But it is also a truly human endeavor in that it affects us all. 因为我们生活在人类历史的这个时期——许多人认为这是一个生物时代的开端——学生们必须能够将生物学概念应用到他们不可避免地面临的一系列问题和选择中.
主修生物学课程的学生将熟悉从分子到生态系统的各个层次的生物组织,并在实验室和实地研究中获得实践经验. 小班授课使教师能够采用一种强调不同学科如何相互关联的学习方法, facilitates critical thinking, 并鼓励学生和教师之间的合作学习方法. 教授们希望学生们体验这种兴奋,看到生物学的应用,并将科学作为了解周围世界的一种方式来欣赏. In addition, the medical biology program stresses the importance of field opportunities, research experience, and experiential learning. 生物科学学院还提供生物科学研究生学位(硕士水平),详细介绍在本目录的研究生部分. 学校的医学相关项目受益于与骨科医学院以及正规澳门赌场网络物理治疗研究生项目的互动, occupational therapy, and physician assistant.

Program Description
医学生物学专业旨在为最终从事人类医学职业的学生提供坚实的生物科学基础, dentistry, other health professions (e.g. physical therapy), biomedical research, or the biotechnology industry.
医学方向为学生在分子生物学方面打下坚实的基础, cellular, tissue, organ, and organismal levels. In addition to the comprehensive introduction to general biology, 这方面的课程向学生介绍生理学的各个领域, biochemistry, cellular biology, and genetics. 本课程还包括进入医学和牙科学校的必修课程以及物理治疗研究生课程, Occupational Therapy, and other health professional programs. 本课程中许多以实验室为基础的课程使学生熟悉用于生物学研究的最新实验室技术, 对于希望进入生物医学研究生院或在生物技术行业工作的学生来说,这是一个优势. Finally, 该专业的学生有机会完成校外实习以获得大学学分(e).g. in a hospital, clinical, or laboratory setting).
This program is designed for: pre-medical students, pre-dental students, pre-veterinary students, 最终将进入生物科学研究生院的学生, and students who will eventually enter the biotechnology industry.
