Students interested in a Ph.D. in Physiology apply to the Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS), which coordinates admissions for Ph.D. programs in the medical school of the University of Michigan.

PIBS graduate students are offered flexibility in the choice of twelve different Ph.D. programs, while retaining the small, focused environment of an individual training program.

Entering students can immediately begin training in Physiology, or take a course of study compatible with several programs. Students choose a Ph.D. program by the end of the first year.

Application to PIBS requires a completed application form, a statement of purpose, transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. Applications and information, including the application deadline, are available online at www.med.umich.edu/pibs.
