[Text on screen: The Ohio State University College of Medicine] Amy Lahmers, MS: What I love about the biomedical Sciences graduate program is seeing the excitement in students when they realize the number of opportunities that we have here at this university. [Series of videos of students in various lab and classroom settings] Jeffrey Parvin, MD, PhD: They find a lab, they focus, they learn the skills that they need to become productive scientists. Rosa Lapalombella, PhD: We have state-of-the-art labs and shared resources, so this is really the place where you can take your dreams and do whatever you want with them. [Text on screen: Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program The Ohio State University College Medicine] [Text on screen: Daniel Clinchot, MD Vice Dean for Education] Daniel Clinchot, MD: Graduate students are an integral part of our research infrastructure, whereby we're able to do translational work to really make these breakthrough discoveries, but also develop cures for some very, very challenging and complex diseases. [Series of videos of students working in a lab] [Text on screen: Michael Freitas, PhD Co-Director, Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program] Michael Freitas, PhD: Our program is one of the largest umbrella programs in the country. We have 300 faculty members. We have a progressive curriculum that gets students into the laboratory quickly. The program is really focused on the professional development of students and advancing their careers. [Text on screen: Jeffrey Parvin MD, PhD Associate Dean & Co-Director, Biomedical Graduate Program] Parvin, MD, PhD: Our graduate program is constantly evolving, but always we're emphasizing skills that we think you need to know as a biomedical scientist in the coming years. Our students have available to them chemistry, physics, biology, economics—whatever they need to help their training, that's available on campus. [Series of videos of the medical campus] [Text on screen: Jennifer Petrosino Student] Jennifer Petrosino: Everything I did in BSGP class-wise had a very specific purpose, and it's helped me in my training as an actual bench scientist every step of the way. [Text on screen: Jacob Yount, PhD Associate Professor, Department of Microbial Infection and Immunity] Jacob Yount, PhD: One thing that I really like about the BSGP program is all the options that it gives to the students. They can choose from really many different labs and do rotations, kind of find what really interests them. [Text on screen: Greg Nagy Student] Greg Nagy: They provide you with a stable base that you need in the coursework, and introduction to mentoring, and introduction to the faculty members and older students that allows for more genuine connection which leads to more genuine mentorship. [Series of videos of students and staff interacting] [Text on screen: Danielle Ferguson Student] Danielle Ferguson: My mentor's door is always open. I like the way he lets me explore my project, and he just gives me advice on those points that I want to tackle. [Series of videos showing Ferguson speaking with her mentor and working in a lab] [Text on screen: Mireia Guerau-De-Arellano, PharmD, PhD Associate Professor, School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences] Mireia Guerau-De-Arellano, PharmD, PhD: All of the graduate students in the BSGP program do an individual development plan that gets revisited every six months to a year. So, most of the students do obtain the positions that they really hoped for, really soon after graduation. [Text on screen: Rosa Lapalombella, PhD Pelatonia Fellowship Program Director & Associate Professor] Rosa Lapalombella, PhD: This is really one program that can fit all because of the interdisciplinary nature and the fact that you have 11 different areas of emphasis. Anything you really want to do in research, you can find it here. Also, for fellowship, we have a budget of $2 million every year to allocate for the students. [Series of videos of students working in a lab] Freitas, PhD: The goal is for students to gain practical training from the moment they arrive on campus. On top of that, Columbus is just a phenomenal place; it's one of the fastest-growing cities in the Midwest. This program is going to do whatever it can do to help you be successful in whatever you decide to do. [Series of videos showing the city of Columbus] [Text on screen: Amy Lahmers, MS Administrative Director, Biomedicial Sciences Graduate Program] Amy Lahmers, MS: It's really about, you know, training the best and brightest biomedical scientists who will go out and do great things, you know, finding cures for human diseases.At a place like Ohio State, that's part of our mission, is fostering excellence. And we have a real commitment to doing that. [Series of images showing the various Ohio State Medical Centers] [Text on screen: Zihali Li, MD, PhD Founding Director, Pelatonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology] Zihali Li, MD, PhD: Graduate training is about learning knowledge and gaining skills, but it's actually more about learning yourself, who you are, what you want to do, what will make you happy. So I think this place, I think it's second to none. [Text on screen: The Ohio State University College of Medicine Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program medicine.osu.edu/bsgp] [Music]
