Research, seminar, and teaching requirements for the MD/PhD program in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology are the
same as for the PhD program in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. Extensive information on the MD/PhD program at
VCU can be found at www.vcu.edu/mdphd.
Course requirements for the MD/PhD program in
Biochemistry & Molecular Biology are as follows:
- BIOC 690: Biochemistry Seminar (each semester)
- BIOC 691: Special Topics in Biochemistry/ student seminar (each semester)
- MICR 510: Scientific Integrity (typically year 01)
- BIOC 697: Directed research in Biochemistry (each semester)

Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research
Beginning in Fall 2005, all PhD students are required to complete the following training in the
responsible conduct of research:
- MICR 510, Scientific Integrity, 2 cr, Fall Semester, year 02
- Collaborative Investigator Training Initiative (CITI) : this is an on-line course that
provides training in Human Subjects Research. The course must be completed during the Fall
Semester of year 02. Students should submit the “Certificate of Completion” before starting
the Spring Semester of year 02. Consult the following link to access the course:
http://www.research.vcu.edu/irb/education.htm.
- Research Training. Org: this is an on-line course that provides training in Animal Subjects
Research. The course must be completed during the Fall Semester of year 02. Students should
submit the “Certificate of Completion” before starting the Spring Semester of year 02. Consult
the following link to access the course: http://www.research.vcu.edu/iacuc/lata.htm
