Are you interested in a career in medicine, dentistry, or other discipline of the Biomedical Sciences? The School of Arts and Sciences offers the Bachelor of Sciences with a concentration in Biomedical Science.
The Biomedical Science concentration is a career-focused, pre-professional program designed to help students prepare for admission to professional schools for further study in medicine, dentistry, physician assistant, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, and other graduate programs in healthcare and biomedical research.
Biomedical Science at Coastal Georgia has a wide variety of courses, ranging from introductory biology courses to upper-level courses, including Advanced Human Anatomy and Physiology, Animal Anatomy and Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology and Advanced Microbiology, Mycology, Parasitology, and Pathophysiology.
Students perform laboratories in modern, well-equipped labs, and have opportunities to perform research individually with faculty mentors, participate in the nationwide SEA-PHAGES bacteriophage research program, and complete internships with physicians, dentists, and other healthcare professionals.
Upon graduation, most of our students have pursued further studies in medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, medical laboratory science, or graduate studies in biomedical research or other scientific fields. Some of our students have gone on to immediate employment in medical, industrial, and other scientific labs.
Recipient of the 2019 Academic Recognition Day Award by the Board of Regents, Coastal Georgia graduate Jonathon Edgy is pursuing a career as a family medicine physician.
“It wasn’t until I graduated from high school that I knew I wanted to be a physician – which kind of surprised me,” Edgy said.
Hello everyone! My name is Dr. Dantera Tangpisuthipongsa. I usually go by Professor Dan or Dr. Dan. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology from Emory University, and later a Doctorate of Medicine from Medical College of Georgia. After a year of internship, I found myself enjoying teaching and training future healthcare professionals to be my new calling. I spent my free time catching up on my sleep, tending to my garden, and binging on streaming services.
I mainly teach Anatomy and Physiology I & II along with their lab component, and Pathophysiology, which I highly recommend to any student who wants to get a head start in nursing or medical school. My academic interest focuses on biomedical sciences and learning activities that provide a strong foundation for students who are interested in pursuing a healthcare career.
