Introduction
Master’s Degree in Medical Physiology and Pharmacology
The University of Florida’s online master’s degree in medical physiology and pharmacology provides students with a broad understanding of physiology and pharmacology with an emphasis on human systems. In this concise but comprehensive program, students will explore the nervous, cardiovascular, digestive, renal/excretory, respiratory, integumentary, endocrine, reproductive and musculoskeletal systems.
Developed as a collaboration between UF’s Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics and Department of Physiology and Functional Genomics within the College of Medicine, this program is for individuals who want to enhance their medical school application by gaining practical, foundational knowledge in the medical field or advance their careers by distinguishing themselves academically.
This 30-credit program requires 15 credits focused on medical physiology and 15 credits focused on medical pharmacology, ensuring students gain an advanced scientific understanding of major human body systems, the impact of drugs on living organisms at the cellular and molecular levels and normal and abnormal conditions within human body systems.
