Graduate 566 level requirements will include a clear understanding of principles of disease at a depth appropriate for this higher level of education. This will involve required readings from the core textbook and selected current literature references. Graduate level students will also be required to answer additional, more rigorous, in depth exam questions and be held to a higher standard of performance than 466 level undergraduate students.
