Two tracks are available to students: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Biosecurity and biodefense science related to national security;\n<li>Basic and clinical sciences related to global health.<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Many basic scientists do not receive formal training in methods for understanding global public health or national security applications of their work. The biodefense and health security students in our program will receive training in basic science research and the scientific principles of protecting civilian and military populations,&#8221; said Dr. Bilek, who is co-chair of MSIA&#8217;s program committee.<\/p>\n<p>John-Martin Lowe, Ph.D., assistant vice chancellor for interprofessional health security training education and executive director of education for the Global Center for Health Security; and Joshua Santarpia, Ph.D., associate professor of pathology and microbiology, will oversee the subplan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health Practice and Medical Education Research, Biodefense and Health Security subplans will provide opportunities for
