该证书课程为生物医学博士生提供了对业务原理的基本理解。尽管UNMC的博士生接受了研究方法以及生物学和医学原理方面的广泛培训，但他们并未获得有关商业基础知识的正式培训。但是，很大一部分生物医学博士学位的学生在制药，生物技术和其他行业获得就业。对于具有这些职业目标的学生，进行正式的商业培训将显着提高他们在这些行业职位上的职业选择和竞争力。
This certificate program provides a basic understanding of business principles to biomedical PhD students. While UNMC PhD students receive extensive training in research methods and the principles of biology and medicine, they receive no formal training in business fundamentals. However, a significant portion of biomedical PhD students obtain employment in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other industries. For students with these career goals, formal training in business would markedly enhance their career options and competitiveness for these industry positions.
