What do graduates do?
Our graduates emerge from our program with an excellent foundation in biomedical sciences and with exceptional teaching skills and experience. Many attend medical school or graduate school, where they put their expertise in practice as physicians or educators. Other graduates go on to teach at any level – from college to medical school. Still others become scientists in industry or academic research positions.

Graduate School opportunities:
1.) Max Planck Florida Institute and Florida Atlantic University (Flyer)
2.) BU’s Vesalius Program: Our website is: http://www.bu.edu/vesalius/
The Vesalius Program is a 2 year Master of Arts degree. It is comprised of three main components: 1) graduate courses in biomedical sciences 2) advanced teaching courses coupled with a one-on-one mentored teaching experience, and 3) primary biomedical research.
The first year is devoted to establishing an advanced understanding of the biomedical sciences and neurosciences. Students can take Medical Gross Anatomy, Medical Neurosciences and Medical Histology alongside first year medical and graduate students. Students also take courses in the Introduction to Educational Neuroscience.
In the second semester of the first year, students take Teaching in the Biomedical Sciences. This is a small high level graduate course designed to expose the student to the theory and practice of education.
In the second year, the students will then put theory into practice. The rigorous environment of the medical school classroom that the students experienced first hand in their initial year will serve as the environment in which they will apply the techniques and principles to become effective educators. They will work closely with faculty to refine their technique.
The second year will also be spent performing a research project. This work, mentored by a faculty member, will teach the student how to perform primary biomedical research leading to an independent research thesis.
Pre-doctoral Fellowships:
The Toddler Developmental Disabilities Clinic at the Yale Child Study Center in the Yale School of Medicine is interested in recruiting highly qualified students from Boston University for an exciting new pre-doctoral fellowship for current graduates or graduating seniors. The position will commence June 2012 and will be 2 years in duration.
Successful applicants will be involved in a 2-year training program involving clinical research experience. Fellows will be responsible for assisting in a variety of research activities in the lab and for completing experimental protocols with infants and toddlers and their families. With research mentorship, selected applicants will be expected to guide a pre-determined project of research from the point of data collection through analysis and publication of results.
Interested students should send materials no later than February 28th, 2012 in order to be considered for the position. Additional information can be found on our website here: http://childstudycenter.yale.edu/autism/fellowship/developmental-computational.aspx
