生物医学发现与商业化（BDC）计划是一项多学科的培训计划
The Biomedical Discovery and Commercialization (BDC) program is a multidisciplinary training program, concentrated in the biomedical sciences that will produce graduates with the combined strengths of discovery research skills and business acumen. An important goal of the BDC program is the exposure of students to business curriculum in the DeGroote School of Business to complement a strong foundation in the biomedical sciences obtained in the Faculty of Health Sciences. Further, the program seeks to make strong connections with the health research business community in order to provide internships and community mentors for its trainees. With this unique combination of skills and knowledge, BDC graduates will be well positioned for employment in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and other biomedical science sectors of the economy. Likewise they will be equipped to pursue further training in, for example, graduate studies in research, Master of Business Administration, Law or Medicine. The format of the BDC program is a ‘4 Plus 1' Bachelor plus Master program. It is a four‐year undergraduate Bachelor's degree that begins in Level III, followed by a fifth year Master's degree. Thus candidates who successfully graduate from the four-year undergraduate BDC program may choose to apply for admission to the one‐year non‐thesis, course‐based Master's program. Upon successful completion of each of the degree requirements, candidates will have graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences degree in BDC and subsequently a Master of Biomedical Discovery and Commercialization.
