Master of Biomedical Sciences Program Accepting Applications for Fall 2021

In addition to a curriculum focused on enhancing students’ basic science knowledge, the M.B.S. program includes courses on business and interview skills to develop essential soft skills.

Earning a coveted spot in medical school, dental school and other competitive health professions programs is becoming more and more challenging. Many applicants have impressive credentials but still may not receive an acceptance letter on their first attempt.

NSU’s Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) offers students an opportunity to pave their path to a successful career in health care or research. The Master of Biomedical Sciences (M.B.S.) program was developed and is administered by the medical school faculty to enhance students’ academic backgrounds and make students more competitive applicants for programs in medicine, dental medicine, physician assistant, pharmacy, optometry, anesthesiologist assistant and more. The program also prepares students for graduate programs in biomedical sciences.

The M.B.S. program provides a foundation in science with a focus on clinical correlation. The 30-credit interdisciplinary program can be completed in one year and includes courses in test preparation, interview skills, basic sciences, business and a variety of other electives that allow students to focus their strengths, interests, and needs.

M.B.S. graduates who meet program-specific requirements are guaranteed an admission interview in select highly-competitive NSU health professions programs.
