Medical SciencesBloomington Assistant Dean Departmental E-mail Departmental URL Graduate Faculty Graduate Faculty(An asterisk [*] denotes associate membership in University Graduate School faculty.) Professors Adjunct Professors Associate Professors Adjunct Associate Professors Assistant Professors Adjunct Assistant Professor Program InformationEach of the four basic medical sciences disciplines— anatomy, pathology, pharmacology, and physiology— administered by the Medical Sciences program of the School of Medicine on the Bloomington campus offers work leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The program also accepts medical students who wish to take advantage of small classes. The first two years of basic medical instruction include gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, neuroanatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, physiology, emergency medicine, immunology, pharmacology, pathology, physical diagnosis, and introduction to medicine (the latter two taught at Bloomington Hospital). The curriculum is drawn from the many courses offered jointly through the School of Medicine and the University Graduate School. At a time when many medical schools are reducing their basic science offerings to medical students, the program at Bloomington should be of significant interest to those who seek a more rigorous training in the physical and biological sciences. Complete information for the Doctor of Medicine program is provided in the School of Medicine Bulletin.
