Program Overview
The Biomedical Science & Management (BSM) program is a Professional Science Master's program that combines basic medical science coursework with business and management skills. Students matriculate in one of six basic science Master's programs and complete an internship in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or health care industries. The program prepares students for careers in these industries or related placements in the private sector.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The Biomedical Science & Management (BSM) program is a Professional Science Master's program that is a separate academic track within each of our six discipline-based basic medical science Master’s programs: biochemistry & molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology & immunology, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology. The aim of the Master’s programs is to prepare students for careers in one of our basic medical science disciplines either in academia or in the private or not-for-profit sectors. The BSM track has the same aim, but incorporates new strategies for preparing students for such careers by including: (1) course work related to business, management, communication skills, regulatory affairs and other topics important to career success but not specifically related to the scientific content of the chosen discipline, and (2) an internship experience that will provide practical, hands-on exposure to career opportunities in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or health care industries or related placements in the private sector.
Outline:
Students in the Biomedical Science & Management (BSM) program matriculate in one of the six basic science Master’s programs. Didactic courses are taken during the regular Graduate School evening sessions in the Fall, Spring or Summer academic terms. Some elective professional skills courses are available through NYMC’s School of Health Sciences and Practice, and some of these are available as online offerings. Students must apply for an internship position at an approved company, agency or institution.
Careers:
The BSM track prepares students for careers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or health care industries or related placements in the private sector.
