The Physiology Graduate Program at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, LA has developed a Master’s program specifically designed to provide advanced training and understanding of the functions of the body, and to serve as the foundation for the study of medicine. Successful completion of this one-year program will increase your competitiveness for medical schools or equivalent professional programs. The program includes Advanced Medical Physiology, Neurophysiology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Translational Physiology.
Our program will benefit students looking to strengthen their credentials. Students will have various options within our program including:
- opportunities for research
- interaction with faculty across multiple disciplines
- MCAT studies and application preparation
- mock interviews and discussions with admissions director
- physician shadowing
In addition, many of the faculty teaching in our master's program are the same faculty that are teaching our medical students. We feel our program has been instrumental in helping students become more competitive for admission to medical school or other professional programs. On average, approximately 74% of our graduates (2015-2020) have received acceptance letters to medical or equivalent schools. Congratulations to all our graduates; we wish them great success in their future careers!
