The doctorate program consists of 90 credits.
Students must take an additional 12 complementary credits in engineering or biomedical sciences if they are directly entering the PhD program or if they have not done any graduate studies in biomedical engineering.
Also, the academic or research supervisor may require the student to take a course in basic science in biology or medicine (such as physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, cell biology or pathology) if deemed necessary because of the student's previous education. This course must be submitted to the graduate student affairs coordinator of the biomedical engineering program for approval. If the required course is at the undergraduate level, it will be considered as a non-program course.
It is recommended that students take the following two courses:
- MMD 6100 Skills for Health Researchers
- MMD 6005 Health Research and Ethics
Segment 70
