Application Process
The Master of Science in Genomic Medicine (MSGM) coursework is concurrent with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine M.D. Program beginning in the spring semester of the first year and ending upon completion of the M.D. program in the fourth year. Each course is made up of self-guided online instruction and reading, and in-person small-group work.
During Phase 1 of the program’s NextGenMD curriculum, the self-guided instruction requires a weekly time commitment of about three hours. Small-group work is an additional three hours a week and determined by the semester’s program schedule. Assignments, projects, and review may require an additional three hours a week.
During Phase 2 of the NextGenMD curriculum, students can complete elements of their capstone research project.
During Phase 3, students complete upper-level MSGM courses, the clinical clerkship elective, and the MSGM capstone project that culminates in a written portfolio and public presentation of the capstone experience.
