Learning Outcomes
MS CaMP students will be able to demonstrate ability in:
- Gaining a general knowledge base in the biomedical sciences
- Acquisition of deeper knowledge of past and current scientific literature in a more specific field within physiology (i.e., in the chosen track of study)
- Ability to form hypotheses and to design and perform appropriate experiments to test these hypothesis
- Acquisition of oral and written communication skills for scientific peers and general audiences
