Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Integrated Pharmaceutical Medicine

The Integrated Pharmaceutical Medicine (IPM) Graduate Program is designed to educate and develop students into leading independent scientists, scholars, and innovators. The program offers exceptional training opportunities in the basic and applied health sciences with nationally and internationally recognized faculty across the following focus areas: Neurodegenerative Diseases; Heart and Blood Vessel Disease; Auditory Neuroscience; Musculoskeletal; Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism.

Our goal is to train students to be on the forefront of demystifying disease mechanisms, identifying disease targets, and advancing innovative therapeutic interventions and technologies. To achieve this, students will develop critical knowledge and skills through a ‘tailored’ interprofessional curriculum, immersive extramural internship opportunities with industry and hospital partners, as well as, a diverse community of research faculty mentors and collaborators housed within state-of-the-art research facilities.

The College of Graduate Studies (COGS) was founded in 2009 and offers graduate programs for anesthesiologist assistants in biomedical science, integrated pharmaceutical medicine, health systems science, health research, health-system pharmacy administration, medical ethics and humanities, modern anatomical sciences, and public health.

Through a diverse and inclusive environment, the mission of the College of Graduate Studies is to instill critical thinking, inspire curiosity, and promote innovation to graduate future generations of scientists, researchers, teachers, health professionals, and community leaders who will use the power of education, research, and scholarship for positive impact.
