Interdisciplinary Cardiovascular Sciences - Baylor College of Medicine

Interdisciplinary Cardiovascular Sciences from Baylor College of Medicine is a Campus Master Cardiology degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. Interest in the biology of the cardiovascular system in general has steadily increased over the past twenty years. More individuals die of cardiovascular disease than any other cause, and it is clear that the level of disease is epidemic in proportion. In order to approach treatment in an efficient manner, a thorough understanding of the cardiovascular system from structural, biochemical, biophysical and molecular perspectives is desirable. The development of such an understanding requires a multidiscipline approach to training and experimentation. Baylor College of Medicine has developed unique capabilities in basic research aspects of cardiovascular disease. Through the years, research activities have been closely correlated with clinical activities and as a result, this cooperative approach offers a unique opportunity for basic science training coupled to the observation and management of various cardiovascular diseases. Such direction is manifested in the DeBakey Heart Center and it is within this context that this program is presented. BCM hopes to afford to those aspiring to academic careers in basic science the opportunity to obtain foundations in techniques and current directions as they relate to the cardiovascular system. The graduate program is interdisciplinary and concentrated in the area of cardiovascular biology. Thus, all the specific techniques eminating from basic "classical" disciplines such as biochemistry; cell and molecular biology; physiology; and pharmacology are well represented within the expertise of the faculty. Indeed, all of the faculty have appointments in at least one of the basic science departments of the school. The goal of the program is to present the student the opportunity to become knowledgeable in the range of fundamental expertise necessary to develop a well focused study within the broad discipline of cardiovascular biology.
