About us
In addition to the monthly meetings, IMSD program faculty serve as extra coaches and advisers to students outside of their dissertation committees and meet with the students regularly from the first year on. New students are also paired with more senior IMSD students to provide peer mentoring relationships that serve as additional support mechanisms.
As well as social and program support, IMSD scholars are provided with travel opportunities to attend scientific conferences, leadership opportunities, and opportunities to mentor more junior students. To be accepted to the IMSD program a student should apply to the PhD Program in Biomedical Sciences at MUSC. Upon acceptance the student will be invited to apply to the IMSD program. To date the IMSD program has supported 53 students who have an approximately 80% success rate in obtaining their PhDs. Recent graduates have obtained postdoctoral positions at prestigious institutions, become faculty in science departments, and have pursued a variety of other careers in government and the private sector.
