MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE (M.S.B.S.) in TRANSPLANTATION AND DONATION SCIENCES
The transplantation and donation sciences master’s program at The University of Toledo is the first academic program in the country to prepare students to coordinate and oversee organ donation and transplantation.
UToledo’s transplantation and donation sciences program within the College of Medicine and Life Sciences offers two tracks:
Full-time, on-campus track
Online track
UToledo graduates of the transplantation and donation sciences program earn a professional science master’s degree (P.S.M). The P.S.M. combines basic and medical science classes with professional skills development. Students take elective courses in such areas as business, project management, policy and law. They are prepared for high-level leadership roles.
The traditional on-campus track provides entry-level, professional preparation to become an organ-procurement coordinator. Donation coordinators facilitate the donation process from start to finish. They are the liaisons between the donor’s family, the coroner or medical examiner, the medical and nursing staff, the organ procurement organization and the transplant center.
UToledo’s transplantation and donation sciences program attracts students from across the U.S. — those with science backgrounds and those with non-science degrees. All graduate students must meet our minimum science prerequisites.
