(Mississippi College Masters in Medical Sciences, 1 of 4 students out of 104 students total to graduate program with 4.0 while taking the maximum courseload... courses meant to mimic medical school level, our dean/ one of our professors is adjunct gross anatomy professor at univ of mississippi medical school, another professor is US MD with degree from u of mississippi medical school.. i took neuroanatomy, gross anatomy, histology, medical physiology, pharmacology, and presentation seminar)
