Certificate programs at UNC are offered by academic schools, departments, or curricula and consist of courses and other related experiences in specialized fields. Upon completion of program requirements, certificates are awarded in recognition of competence in a given skill, practice, or field of study. Certificates carry academic credit and are awarded in addition to graduate degrees granted by specific Departments or Curricula.<\/p>\n<p>Participants in the Graduate Certificate Program in Cardiovascular Science will interact with a large number of investigators within <a class=\"internal-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/mhi\/Laboratories\">UNC&#8217;s McAllister Heart Institute (MHI)<\/a> and will receive training in a variety of settings (classroom, research lab, seminars, symposia). The educational objectives of the program are as follows;<\/p>\n<p>1) To provide students with a broad understanding of cardiovascular development, physiology, pharmacology, and disease.<\/p>\n<p>2) To keep students abreast of recent advancements in cardiovascular research.<\/p>\n<p>3) To provide practical training in cardiovascular research methods.<\/p>\n<p>4) To increase students&#8217; exposure to career and funding opportunities in the cardiovascular field.<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-primary  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<div class=\"panel-heading oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<h3>Coursework Requirements<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"panel-body oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<h4>6 credit hours from the following:<\/h4>\n<table class=\"table table-bordered\" style=\"width: 47.393%; height: 69px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%; height: 23px;\">Path 766 \u2013 Current topics in Cardiovascular Science (3h) \u2013 Mack<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%; height: 23px;\">Path 767 &#8211; Pathobiology of CV disease (3h) \u2013 Homeister\/Mack<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 100%; height: 23px;\">Path 920 \u2013 Seminar in Interdisciplinary Vascular Biology (1h) \u2013 Mack<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>And <\/strong>3 credit hours from a graduate level course that contains cardiovascular content (see below for examples).<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:cmack@med.unc.edu\">Contact Dr. Mack<\/a> if you have questions about a course not listed here.<\/p>\n<table class=\"table table-bordered\" style=\"width: 55.505%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">Path 713 Mechanisms of disease &#8211; Homeister (3h)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">CBPH 852 Experimental Physiology of Health and Human Disease \u2013 Shea (4.5h)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">CBPH 853 Experimental Physiology of Health and Human Disease \u2013 Otey (4.5h)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">Phco 701 Intro to molecular pharmacology &#8211; Wang (3h)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">Phco 702 Principles of pharmacology and physiology &#8211; Wang (3h)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">Biol 624 Developmental genetics &#8211; Bautch (3h)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-primary  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<div class=\"panel-heading oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<h3>Thesis Requirements<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"panel-body oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<p>Completion of thesis work (including a successful defense) with an <a class=\"internal-link\" href=\"\/mhi\/Laboratories\">MHI-associated faculty member<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>OR<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Completion of a thesis that contains a significant cardiovascular component as judged by the Certificate Program Faculty Advising Committee (Mack, Mackman, Taylor, Caron)<\/p>\n<p><b>ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Attendance at the <a class=\"internal-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/mhi\/tag\/seminars\/\">MHI sponsored cardiovascular seminar series<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Participation in the IVB\/MHI annual research symposium<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>To apply, please contact the Program Director, Christopher Mack, for more information<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:cmack@med.unc.edu\">cmack@med.unc.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"tel:919 843-5512\">(919) 843-5512<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Certificate Program in Cardiovascular Science was established in 2013 to provide UNC Chapel Hill graduate students with a more in-depth academic experience in the field of cardiovascular research.
