Academic-Year Research Programs
	The Department of Biomedical Sciences provides students of all races, ethnic backgrounds, gender and financial status with encouragement, support and guidance needed for the successful pursuit of careers in biomedical sciences. We believe that the individual potential of each student should not be lost or ignored, and that supporting the academic capability, desire to succeed and willingness to persevere of each student will ensure that no human potential in our community is lost. Expanding the academic and career horizons of students, particularly students from disadvantaged backgrounds, will enable our community and nation to meet the future workforce needs of healthcare, scientific and academic organizations.
	The Department of Biomedical Sciences aims to promote undergraduate research scholarship and creative activity done in partnership with faculty or other mentors as a vital component of higher education. Students that wish to participate in this program should contact the Department of Biomedical Sciences, either by phone (323-563-5868) or email biomedicalsciences@cdrewu.edu.
