Abschluss in Interdisziplinären Medizinischen Wissenschaften

The mission of the Interdisciplinary Medical Sciences (IMS) B.S. The degree program is to educate students who aspire to enter a health profession. The IMS Degree Program’s rigorous science core curriculum, individualized advising, experiential service learning, and developmental seminar and capstone course sequence enable its majors to reach their potential academically and personally, determine a career path best suited for them, and develop the skills, attitudes, and acumen to attain their career goals.

The degree includes health care career exploration through the IMS Experiential Service Learning Seminars series and Senior Capstone course. Students may pursue individual specialized and pre-professional interests with any of the three major options - Clinical Professions Major, Community Patient Care Major, or Health Management, Policy and Information Major - to help prepare for entry into professional training programs or become part of the healthcare workforce.

At the Florida State University College of Medicine, we are interested in producing physicians, physician assistants, and scientists who are caring practitioners of both the art and science of medicine. That process starts with choosing the right students - people who will work well with their patients and the entire healthcare team. After carefully selecting our students, we immerse them in a culture that embodies the characteristics we expect to see in our graduates. Throughout the M.D., PA, and Ph.D. in biomedical sciences programs, FSU students learn in an environment that values diversity, mutual respect, teamwork, and open communication. They also actively participate in an innovative curriculum that prepares them to become lifelong learners in an era of explosive growth in medical knowledge and information technology.

The Florida State University College of Medicine will educate and develop exemplary physicians who practice patient-centered health care, discover and advance knowledge, and are responsive to community needs, especially through service to elder, rural, minority, and underserved populations. The FSU College of Medicine will lead the nation in preparing compassionate physicians to deliver the highest quality 21st Century patient-centered medicine to communities of greatest need.
