Email this pageLaboratory Rotations
During the first year of study, biomedical science students complete three laboratory rotations. These rotations provide broad exposure to the area of research, methods, techniques, rules and regulations of each lab as well as the general lab organization and personnel.
After completing the required rotations, students are expected to identify a degree major and select an advisor’s lab for their thesis research. This is a very important decision that should be based upon an informed analysis of the student’s intellectual needs and preferences. Students are strongly encouraged to discuss all options with their Program Director to ensure that a satisfactory choice is made.
