Iván Vidal González: Fellowship

Iván Vidal González

Prepared by Iván's advisor, Dr. Gregory Quirk

The Ponce School of Medicine was founded in 1977 in order to provide training opportunities in medicine and biomedical sciences to students in southern Puerto Rico. The Doctoral Program in Biomedical Sciences was accredited in 1992 by the Council of Higher Education of Puerto Rico. This inter-departmental program provides students with a core curriculum followed by advanced courses and a research dissertation leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree in the Biomedical Sciences. Students gain a general knowledge of the basic sciences including Histology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Physiology. The PhD is awarded after the successful completion of coursework, a comprehensive exam, and a dissertation defense of an original research project in a particular field, such as Neuroscience, AIDS, Endometriosis, Asthma, Aging, and Gastrointestinal Physiology.
