All Predoctoral Trainees
- Students are expected to devote full time to graduate study and research and to make satisfactory progress toward a Ph.D. degree.
- Students with limited background in physiology are required to audit the portion of Principles of Human Physiology, Course 720, related to the cardiovascular system, in the Medical School Curriculum (second semester); students with a background in physiology should audit Cardiovascular Pathophysiology, Medical Sciences 706, a fall semester course.
All Postdoctoral Trainees
Postdoctoral trainees with limited background in cardiovascular pathophysiology should audit Cardiovascular Pathophysiology, Medical Sciences 706, a fall semester course.
All Postdoctoral Clinical (Post MD) Trainees
All postdoctoral clinical (post-MD) trainees on the Training Program in Translational Cardiovascular Science are required to take the following courses:
- Short Course in Clinical Research - 3-day introductory conference in Summer, non-credit
