The Guide for Students and Faculty was conceived in 2001 by Dr. George Lindenmayer, then-Associate Dean of the College of Graduate Studies, as a single-source reference to all aspects of the Biomedical Sciences First Year Curriculum in the College of Graduate Studies at MUSC. The Guide is updated annually with valuable contributions from numerous faculty participating in the curriculum, and is edited by the curriculum course director. I especially acknowledge the boundless support I receive from Dr. Perry Halushka, Dean of the College of Graduate Studies, and the unstinting administrative assistance provided by Keisha Brown, Karla Locklear, Debra Shoemaker and Dodie Weise in the College of Graduate Studies Office.
