Due to the rapid proliferation of knowledge in the neuroscience and in human physiology, it is not the program's policy to routinely allow for the waiver of course work in the basic sciences. In many cases, students will be one or more decades beyond their original course in anatomy, physiology or other basic science course and would clearly benefit from an update and review. In rare cases, when the relevant course work has been completed in the past five years, the student may consult with the director concerning a waiver. The student must then achieve an A or B in the course examination in lieu of taking the course. There are two options available to the entering student.
