- Complete Ethical Dimensions of the Biomedical Sciences (End of fall term of 1st year)
Every GSBS student is required to demonstrate knowledge in biomedical ethics by passing a one-credit-hour course entitledThe Ethical Dimensions of the Biomedical Sciences。该课程由超过12个GSB的教师教授，为学生提供了一个框架，以识别，检查和解决其职业生活中的道德冲突。根据设计，学生通常会在入学率的第一次衰落中遵守生物医学科学课程的道德维度，因此他们在教育期间具有批判性的道德意识和冲突解决工具。
- Identify a research advisor (end of fall term of 1st year)
MS students must identify a primary research advisor with whom they will complete their thesis research. Students may begin contactingGSBS facultyonce they receive their offer of admission.
