"description": "<p>The College of Medicine offers an integrated MD/PhD curriculum that enables students to fulfill all requirements and earn the Doctor of Medicine and the Doctor of Philosophy.</p><p>This program provides opportunity for MD students to obtain advanced research and training experience and for PhD students to obtain medical training. The program develops physician-scientists with preparation for both academic research and teaching careers. Physician-scientists are in an excellent position to facilitate bench-to-bedside translation of applicable research findings.</p><p>Students must fulfill all requirements for both programs to earn both the MD and PhD degrees. As indicated in the curriculum description, some medical modules can be substituted for certain graduate courses and vice versa to help reduce redundancy and streamline time to completion of this integrated program. Students will be able to complete the MD/PhD program in as few as 6 years, although most students will likely require 7-8 years to fulfill all of the requirements. An MD/PhD program committee consisting of faculty from both the medical and graduate programs will serve as the oversight committee responsible for tracking and evaluating student progress in this program.</p><p>Students in the integrated MD/PhD Track in Biomedical Sciences must be accepted in the College of Medicine MD program and begin working on their PhD research project during the first two years of medical school. Students take medical courses during the first two years and must successfully pass the USMLE Step 1 exam at the end of year 2 prior to beginning full-time graduate studies in the Biomedical Sciences PhD Program.

The student will select a faculty adviser to chair a faculty committee of two members for the evaluation of the report. An oral presentation on the written capstone report will be used as a final examination.</li>Capstone Process<li> Students are encouraged to contact faculty as early as possible to identify a faculty whose research focus complements the student's interest. The student and the mentor should select one additional faculty members to serve on the capstone evaluation committee. Students must submit a signed Capstone Committee and Capstone Topic form to the Program Coordinator for approval as soon as the registration for the course is complete. These forms must be submitted to the Program Office. When the student is ready to defend the Capstone project, the student must register for the capstone course (MCB 6026) for three credit hours. It is important that the student register for the capstone course with the intention of completing the project at the end of the semester.</li> Capstone Report<li> Evaluation of the capstone project requires a written report (in the format of a mini-review manuscript) and a presentation (project defense) in front of the capstone committee. Students may ask for advice and guidance from the project mentor/chair. The average capstone report ranges from 10 to 15 single-spaced pages in a manuscript format with proper citations. The student's Committee Chair will be responsible for checking the report for plagiarism using iThenticate before the report is shared with the committee. The committee must receive the report at least one week before the time of presentation.</li> Capstone Defense<li>Note: The defense (presentation) must be held no later than one week before the final exam week. The capstone defense and comprehensive exam evaluation is designed to assess the student's knowledge and understanding of the project and other relevant subjects in the field. Questions asked by the capstone committee to evaluate the student as competent in the field will satisfy the requirement of the comprehensive exam. The oral presentation will take place in the form of a 30-40 minute seminar and will be followed by questions and discussion. The student will be evaluated on performance in all three sections (written report, oral presentation, and ability to answer questions). Should the student fail, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in an Unsatisfactory (U) grade in the course and dismissal from the program.</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Comprehensive Exam</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students must pass an oral comprehensive exam to qualify for the Master of Science. The oral comprehensive exam tests the student's understanding of the basic concepts in the field and relevant applications. The comprehensive exam will be conducted during the capstone defense and will be administered by the capstone committee. Should the student fail this exam, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in dismissal from the program.</li></ul><h3>Teaching Requirement</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students without significant prior teaching experience, such as but not limited to, a minimum of a year in secondary schools or colleges, are required to serve as Classroom Laboratory Teaching Assistants for a minimum of one semester (one semester in at least one lab section). </li></ul><h3>Research Shadowing (Optional)</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students are encouraged to discuss with their capstone mentor the possibility of joining the lab for research shadowing of other graduate students. Acquired lab skills should assist students with the capstone project and with future endeavors.</li></ul><h3>Independent Learning</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> In the final semester of study, nonthesis students will complete a capstone course that requires an in-depth current literature research report on a relevant subject, which will serve as the independent learning experience.

The student will select a faculty adviser to chair a faculty committee of two members for evaluation of the report. An oral presentation on the written capstone report will be used as a final examination.</li>Capstone Process<li> Students are encouraged to contact faculty as early as possible to identify a faculty whose research focus complements the student's interest. The student and the mentor should select one additional faculty members to serve on the capstone evaluation committee. Students must submit a signed Capstone Committee and Capstone Topic form to the Program Coordinator for approval as soon as the registration for the course is complete. These forms must be submitted to the Program Office. When the student is ready to defend the Capstone project, the student must register for the capstone course (MCB 6026) for three credit hours. It is important that the student register for the capstone course with the intention of completing the project at the end of the semester.</li> Capstone Report<li> Evaluation of the capstone project requires a written report (in the format of a mini-review manuscript) and a presentation (project defense) in front of the capstone committee. Students may ask for advice and guidance from the project mentor/chair. The average capstone report ranges from 10 to 15 single-spaced pages in a manuscript format with proper citations. The student's Committee Chair will be responsible for checking the report for plagiarism using iThenticate before the report is shared with the committee. The committee must receive the report at least one week before the time of presentation.</li> Capstone Defense<li>Note: The defense (presentation) must be held no later than one week before the final exam week. The capstone defense and comprehensive exam evaluation is designed to assess the student's knowledge and understanding of the project and other relevant subjects in the field. Questions asked by the capstone committee to evaluate the student as competent in the field will satisfy the requirement of the comprehensive exam. The oral presentation will take place in the form of a 30-40 minute seminar and will be followed by questions and discussion. The student will be evaluated on performance in all three sections (written report, oral presentation, and ability to answer questions). Should the student fail, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in an Unsatisfactory (U) grade in the course and dismissal from the program.</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Comprehensive Examination</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students must pass an oral comprehensive exam to qualify for the Master of Science. The oral comprehensive exam tests the student's understanding of the basic concepts in the field and relevant applications. The comprehensive exam will be conducted during the capstone defense and will be administered by the capstone committee. Should the student fail this exam, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in dismissal from the program.</li></ul><h3>Teaching Requirement</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students without significant prior teaching experience, such as, but not limited to, a minimum of a year in secondary schools or colleges, are required to serve as Classroom Laboratory Teaching Assistants for a minimum of one semester (one semester in at least one lab section). </li></ul><h3>Research Shadowing (Optional)</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students are encouraged to discuss with their capstone mentor the possibility of joining the lab for research shadowing of other graduate students. Acquired lab skills should assist students with the capstone project and with future endeavors.</li></ul><h3>Independent Learning</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> In the final semester of study, students will complete a capstone course that requires an in-depth current literature research report on a relevant subject, which will serve as the independent learning experience. The student will select a faculty adviser to chair a faculty committee of two members for evaluation of the report.</li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>33</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.

The student will select a faculty adviser to chair a faculty committee of two members for the evaluation of the report. An oral presentation on the written capstone report will be used as a final examination.</li>Capstone Process<li> Students are encouraged to contact faculty as early as possible to identify a faculty whose research focus complements the student's interest. The student and the mentor should select one additional faculty members to serve on the capstone evaluation committee. Students must submit a signed Capstone Committee and Capstone Topic form to the Program Coordinator for approval as soon as the registration for the course is complete. These forms must be submitted to the Program Office. When the student is ready to defend the Capstone project, the student must register for the capstone course (MCB 6026) for three credit hours. It is important that the student register for the capstone course with the intention of completing the project at the end of the semester.</li> Capstone Report<li> Evaluation of the capstone project requires a written report (in the format of a mini-review manuscript) and a presentation (project defense) in front of the capstone committee. Students may ask for advice and guidance from the project mentor/chair. The average capstone report ranges from 10 to 15 single-spaced pages in a manuscript format with proper citations. The student's Committee Chair will be responsible for checking the report for plagiarism using iThenticate before the report is shared with the committee. The committee must receive the report at least one week before the time of presentation.</li> Capstone Defense<li> Note: The defense (presentation) must be held no later than one week before the final exam week. The capstone defense and comprehensive exam evaluation is designed to assess the student's knowledge and understanding of the project and other relevant subjects in the field. Questions asked by the capstone committee to evaluate the student as competent in the field will satisfy the requirement of the comprehensive exam. The oral presentation will take place in the form of a 30-40 minute seminar and will be followed by questions and discussion. The student will be evaluated on performance in all three sections (written report, oral presentation, and ability to answer questions). Should the student fail, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in an Unsatisfactory (U) grade in the course and dismissal from the program.</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Comprehensive Examination</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students must pass an oral comprehensive exam to qualify for the Master of Science. The oral comprehensive exam tests the student's understanding of the basic concepts in the field and relevant applications. The comprehensive exam will be conducted during the capstone defense and will be administered by the capstone committee. Should the student fail this exam, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in dismissal from the program.</li></ul><h3>Teaching Requirement</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students without significant prior teaching experience, such as, but not limited to, a minimum of a year in secondary schools or colleges, are required to serve as Classroom Laboratory Teaching Assistants for a minimum of one semester (one semester in at least one lab section).</li></ul><h3>Research Shadowing (Optional)</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students are encouraged to discuss with their capstone mentor the possibility of joining the lab for research shadowing of other graduate students. Acquired lab skills should assist students with the capstone project and with future endeavors.</li></ul><h3>Independent Learning</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> In the final semester of study, students will complete a capstone course that requires an in-depth current literature research report on a relevant subject, which will serve as the independent learning experience. The student will select a faculty adviser to chair a faculty committee of two members for evaluation of the report.</li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>33</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.

Options include the following: Scholarly in-depth literature review in biomedical and/or clinical sciences (report required) Physician-Shadowing Experience (report required) Service-Learning/Volunteer Work Experience (report required) Laboratory Research (report required) Other (must be pre-approved by the program coordinator/director) (report required)</li>The Capstone Process<li> Students are encouraged to contact faculty as early as possible to identify a faculty whose research focus complements the student's interest. The student and the mentor should select one additional faculty member to serve on the capstone evaluation committee. Students must submit a signed Capstone Committee and Capstone Topic form to the Program Coordinator for approval as soon as the registration for the course is complete. These forms must be submitted to the Program Office. When the student is ready to defend the Capstone project the student must register for the capstone course (MCB 6026) for three credit hours. It is important that the student register for the capstone course with the intention of completing the project at the end of the semester.</li> The Capstone Report<li> Evaluation of the capstone project requires a written report (in the format of a mini-review manuscript) and a presentation (project defense) in front of the capstone committee. Students may ask for advice and guidance from the project mentor/chair. The average capstone report ranges from 10 to 15 single-spaced pages in a manuscript format with proper citations. The student's Committee Chair will be responsible for checking the report for plagiarism using iThenticate before the report is shared with the committee. The committee must receive the report at least one week before the time of presentation.</li> The Capstone Defense<li>Note: The defense (presentation) must be held no later than one week before the final exam week. The capstone defense and comprehensive exam evaluation is designed to assess the student's knowledge and understanding of the project and other relevant subjects in the field. Questions asked by the capstone committee to evaluate the student as competent in the field will satisfy the requirement of the comprehensive exam. The oral presentation will take place in the form of a 30-40 minute seminar and will be followed by questions and discussion. The student will be evaluated on performance in all three sections (written report, oral presentation, and ability to answer questions). Should the student fail, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in an Unsatisfactory (U) grade in the course and dismissal from the program.</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Comprehensive Exam</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students must pass an oral comprehensive exam to qualify for the Master of Science. The oral comprehensive exam tests the student's understanding of the basic concepts in the field and relevant applications. The comprehensive exam will be conducted during the capstone defense and will be administered by the capstone committee. Should the student fail this exam, a second opportunity will be provided within two weeks of the first attempt. A second failure will result in dismissal from the program.</li></ul><h3>Teaching Requirement</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students without significant prior teaching experience, such as, but not limited to, a minimum of a year in secondary schools or colleges, are required to serve as Classroom Laboratory Teaching Assistants for a minimum of one semester (one semester in at least one lab section).</li></ul><h3>Research Shadowing (Optional)</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students are encouraged to discuss with their capstone mentor the possibility of joining the lab for research shadowing of other graduate students. Acquired lab skills should assist students with the capstone project and with future endeavors.</li></ul><h3>Independent Learning</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> In the final semester of study, students will complete a capstone course that requires an in-depth current literature research report on a relevant subject, which will serve as the independent learning experience. The student will select a faculty adviser to chair a faculty committee of two members for evaluation of the report.</li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>33</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.

"description": "<p>The Biotechnology B.S. produces highly trained workers that will meet the workforce needs of the biotechnology industry. Students seeking admission to professional schools (medical, dental, optometry, veterinary, podiatry, and pharmacy) will meet most of the admission requirements for those programs while obtaining a Biotechnology B.S. degree.</p> <h2>Admission Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>Students who declare this major come in on a "Pending" status.</li> <li>In order for students to transition out of "Pending" status, they must earn a "C" or better in each of the following courses or their equivalents: BSC 2010C, CHM 2045C, CHM 2046, CHM 2210.</li> </ul> <h2>Degree Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>Students who change degree programs and select this major must adopt the most current catalog</li> <li>Students should complete the General Education Program before transferring within the Florida College System or State University System.</li> <li>Students should consult with a BSBS academic advisor at least once per semester.</li> <li>Courses designated in section 1 below may be taken at a Florida College System institution, and should usually be completed in the first 60 hours</li> <li>Grades below "C" in Common Program Prerequisites, Core Requirements and Restricted Electives are not accepted.</li> <li>Students in undergraduate majors within the College of Medicine are expected to consistently make good progress towards their degrees. Therefore, the COM/BSBS Progress Policy mandates that undergraduate students meet the requirements of the policy. Below are the specific requirements of the Progress Policy: <ul> <li>Students who earned 5 low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U) will be placed on a probationary status. Students who earn 8 or more low grades (C-, D, F, NC, U) will be excluded from all COM majors.</li> <li>Students with 2 unsuccessful attempts of the same UCF course will be placed on a probationary status. Students with 3 unsuccessful attempts of the same UCF course will be excluded from all COM majors.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <br /> <p>While many students discover that they have interests in varied disciplines at the University of Central Florida, they are not permitted to pursue two majors within the College of Medicine. College of Medicine students may declare a major and a minor within the college or pursue a second major or minor in another academic college at UCF. Students are encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to discuss these opportunities.</p>",
