Year 1 Fall Required courses: GC 710 MD/PhD Translational Research Journal Club (1) GC 725 Enrich Clinical Skills (1) NS 601 Profiles in Neuroscience Research (1) (Optional/not required: discuss with program directors) NS 616 Neuroscience Journal Club (1) NS 710 Neuroscience Seminar Series (1) NS 910 Research (16) ( ) = credits
Year 1 Winter Required courses: NS 940 Research (10) ( ) = credits
Year 1 Spring Required courses: GC 640 Research Ethics (1) GC 712 MD/PhD Translational Journal Seminars (1) GC 725 Enrich Clinical Skills (1) (Optional) GC 730 Planning & Writing a Research Grant (1) NS 626 Neuroscience Journal Club (1) NS 690 Neuropharmacology (2) 2ndhalf of Spring semester (Optional/not required: discuss with program directors) NS 700 Cellular Neurophysiology (4) 1sthalf of Spring semester NS 715 Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience (2) 1sthalf of Spring semester NS 720 Neuroscience Seminar Series (1) NS 740 Applied Statistics in Neuroscience (2) (may need to take Statistics in 2ndyear b/c of scheduling conflict with NS715) NS745 Advanced Topics in Neurodegenerative Diseases (2) 2ndhalf of Spring (Optional/not required: discuss with program directors) NS 920 Research (17) ( ) = credits
Year 1 Summer Required courses: NS930 Research (10) ( ) = credits MD/PhD students in the GPN Program will take the Comprehensive Examination in the Summer of their 1styear (typically in late July/early August). As MD/PhD students start in the PhD program in mid-spring after taking USMLE Step 1, we are considering Summer of Year-1 to be the summer after having already been in the PhD program for an entire year.
Year 2 Fall Required courses: GC 710 MD/PhD Translational Research Journal Club (1) NS 616 Neuroscience Journal Club (1) NS 710 Neuroscience Seminar Series (1) NS 910 Research (16) ( ) = credits
Year 2 Winter Required courses: NS 940 Research (10) ( ) = credits
Year 2 Spring Required courses: GC 712 MD/PhD Translational Journal Seminars (1) GC 725 Enrich Clinical Skills (1) (Optional) NS 626 Neuroscience Journal Club (1) NS 720 Neuroscience Seminar Series (1) NS 740 Applied Statistics in Neuroscience (2) (may need to take Statistics in 2ndyear b/c of scheduling conflict) NS 920 Research (27) ( ) = credits *** Continue participating in both the Neuroscience Journal Club and the Neuroscience Seminar Series every Fall and Spring semester until thesis defense.
Year 2 Summer Required courses: NS930 Research (10) ( ) = credits
