| DESCRIPTION : The objective of the proposed Area of Concentration is to sensitize medical students to the possible role of environmental agents as contributing factors in disease etiology and to familiarize students with methodologies used for hazard identification. The program of study is multi-disciplinary and includes training in xenobiotic metabolism, genetic toxicology, radiation biology, epidemiology and biostatistics. Students may emphasize specific areas based on individual interests. Participation in the program involves enrollment in graduate-level courses, seminar presentations and clinical and laboratory research projects. Students may participate at different levels including a combined M.S./M.D. degree. |
