Program Description

The Master of Medical Science (MMS) Program is a flexible and cost-effective academic opportunity for UTMB clinicians interested in performing biomedical research to validate, recognize, and enhance their research experience. The category of clinicians encompasses dentists, veterinarians, and physicians, including residents, fellows, and faculty of UTMB clinical departments. The program is only open to applicants from within the UTMB community.

The Master of Medical Science Graduate Program provides individualized guidance, training, and support to educate clinicians in critical aspects of biomedical research. The program may also be viewed as part of a path to become a biomedical scientist. These goals are achieved through the following five MMS Program Objectives:

Promote the development of in-depth knowledge of research methodology, data analysis, and critical thinking.

Generate opportunities to interact and collaborate with basic scientists and physician-scientists involved in cutting edge technologies.

Provide a formal research experience with medical applications.

Provide opportunities to develop an awareness of positive social, ethical, and scientific perspectives.

Prepare students for a career in academic medicine.

About the School

For more than 125 years, UTMB has stood with Texas—training the health care workforce; helping make the state a leader in advancing the understanding and treatment of illness and injury; serving as a major provider of healthcare for Texans and their families, and innovating the future of how care is delivered.

UTMB opened in 1891 as the nation’s first public medical school and hospital under unified leadership—already a pioneer. What began as one hospital and medical school building in Galveston is now a major academic health sciences center of global influence, with medical, nursing, health professions, and graduate biomedical schools; a world-renowned research enterprise; and a growing, comprehensive health system with hospitals on four campuses and a network of clinics. Today, UTMB has a $3.3 billion annual statewide economic impact, in terms of business volume, personal income, and durable goods purchases. More than 46,000 jobs in Texas are directly or indirectly attributed to UTMB.

UTMB includes schools of Medicine, Nursing, Health Professions and Graduate Biomedical Sciences; four institutes for advanced study; a major medical library; a network of hospitals and clinics that provide a full range of primary and specialized medical care; and numerous research facilities. UTMB is a part of The University of Texas System and a member of the Texas Medical Center.
