Graduate

The Advanced Concentration in Cancer Biology is one of eight advanced concentrations leading to the Ph.D. degree under the auspices of the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Florida College of Medicine.

This nine-credit program is designed to meet the educational needs of students and health care professionals interested in gaining a fundamental understanding of cancer biology, cancer risks and prevention activities, as well as the management of cancer and its impact on health outcomes.

Interns primarily focus on legislative support related to cancer health policy and cancer prevention, and telehealth initiatives in rural communities. The interns gain unique exposure to the inner workings of the U.S. government in the advancement of our education and research missions.

The UF Health Cancer Institute Predoctoral Awards, awarded annually to up to five graduate students, are intended to recognize and support outstanding predoctoral candidates who are conducting innovative cancer research.
