Admissions

Please complete this application form. When submitted, this form will automatically be sent to both the CUST Director (yesawyer@salud.unm.edu) and SOMREO@salud.unm.edu for review. You will receive an email confirming the completion of your application once received. Admissions decisions generally take two weeks after receipt and are made throughout the year.

Eligibility Requirements

The certificate program and individual courses are open to UNM graduate students, with an emphasis towards PhD students in the Biomedical Sciences, who are interested in earning a transcripted certificate. Other BSGP students are welcome to participate in CUST programming for the experience even if they are not interested in the formal certification process.
Learners in the Academic Science Education & Research Training (ASERT) program will enroll in CUST, or courses within it, as Non-Degree Graduate students as part of their postdoctoral position.
Since completion of CUST requires time and credit hours during the PhD curriculum, enrollment requires agreement and support from the research mentor/faculty advisor.
BSGP students: Passed Qualifying Exams
