The Biomedical Sciences (BMD) major and minor provide a foundation of coursework and skills building to prepare students for research or clinical professions, as well as prepare students to continue on to master’s and professional programs, including, but not limited to, medical school.

The Biomedical Sciences major uses a team-based learning approach and gives students the opportunity to apply what they are learning in clinical settings. Undergraduate students can also participate in research as early as their Freshmen year and research opportunities include clinical research, working alongside physicians.

Exciting opportunities and experiences are available at UAB for undergraduates interested in the study of the human body. We believe in teaching differently, inspiring curiosity and building a supportive community that shapes leaders through our intentional science curriculum, current educational pedagogies, premier academic advising and purposeful professional growth instruction.

Our curriculum is rigorous to ensure success for our graduates to pursue many different careers in health care, education, and research. The BMD faculty and staff are dedicated to fulfilling its important role in the development of competent, successful and respected BMD graduates. We welcome interactions with hard-working, like-minded individuals that are committed to exploring science and personal growth.
