The minor program must be approved by the student's Advisory Committee which will take into consideration the student's total didactic experience. In the case of combined MD/PhD students, the Committee may approve substitution of appropriate medical school courses. The minor representative on this Committee will be selected from outside the student's major department and must be a member of the Cancer Biology Training Program.
