医学硕士（MMS）计划的主要目标是提供基础生物医学方面的严格课程，为学生提供所需的背景知识和技能，以使其能够被医学院及其他健康机构接受并取得成功相关的专业博士学位课程，包括牙科和药学学校。该计划提供了一系列紧密的核心课程，涵盖了主要的生物医学学科，共同为从分子（生物化学），细胞（细胞生物学）和系统（解剖学和生理学）水平理解人体如何工作提供了基础。以及了解体内药物作用所需的基本知识（药理学）以及定量解释科学和流行病学数据的原理（生物统计学）。UVM的医学科学硕士学位是一项30个学分的校园课程，旨在于一年（1
The main objective of the Master of Science in Medical Science (MMS) Program is to provide a rigorous curriculum in the basic biomedical sciences that prepares students with the background knowledge and skills required to gain acceptance into and succeed in medical school as well as other health-related professional doctoral-level degree programs including dental and pharmacy school. The program offers a cohesive set of core courses that cover the major biomedical disciplines that together provide the foundation of understanding how the human body works from the molecular (biochemistry), cellular (cell biology), and systems (anatomy and physiology) levels, as well as the fundamentals required to understand drug actions in the body (pharmacology) and the principles of quantitatively interpreting scientific and epidemiological data (biostatistics). UVM's Master of Medical Science degree is a 30-credit, on-campus program, that is designed to be completed within one year (12 months).
