  24. Course Description: A multidisciplinary course in the cellular, molecular, biochemical and genetic basis of biomedical sciences, designed as a comprehensive first semester course for most incoming biomedical sciences graduate students.

  25. Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: The College of Medicine Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences program is attempting to create a more integrated, less strictly discipline-based graduate program.
  26. What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? This course is part of a required sequence in the major. It can also serve Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Public Health, Nursing, and Cancer Biology.
  27. Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? No.
  28. What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) All course instructors will be faculty at the COM, with a Ph.D., M.D., or both doctoral degrees.
  29. Objectives: This course will serve as a comprehensive course for graduate students in the biomedical sciences, designed to teach the fundamental principles of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, and genetics.
  30. Learning Outcomes: See above.
