Biomedical Research Training Program

The Biomedical Research Training Program (BRTP) is a common entry program for Ph.D. study in the UNMC College of Medicine’s five Basic Science Departments, the Cancer Graduate Research Program and the MMI Developmental Neuroscience Department. The purpose of this program is:

1. to provide students with greater flexibility and wider opportunities for choosing a laboratory in which to pursue Ph.D. research
2. to provide students with solid, broad-based training in multidisciplinary biomedical research

Biomedical Ph.D. training at UNMC prepares students for a variety of job opportunities in academia (teaching and/or research), industry (research and/or management), and other related fields.
