Rotations are designed to introduce students to laboratory research and assist the student in choosing a laboratory for their thesis work project. Students will complete a minimum of three rotations under the supervision of a faculty preceptor. Students are required to complete MWU-mandated CITI training and will learn laboratory safety, notebook keeping, and basic laboratory techniques. Successful completion of the course requires identification of a research advisor who agrees to supervise the completion of the student's research thesis project.
If a student is approved to transfer from the Master of Arts in Biomedical Sciences program into the Master of Biomedical Sciences program after the Winter Quarter, an additional credit of Thesis Research may substitute for the BMMSG 520 Laboratory Rotation requirement after approval by the Program Coordinator.
