ELIGIBILITY
The CMBD directors and preceptors recognize that the scientific leadership of tomorrow is strengthened by diversity and inclusion in the training of today’s students. The CMBD Training Program is committed to the recruitment, retention and professional success of a diverse cohort of students, and to providing access and accommodations for students with disabilities.
