The Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences (MSBS)
http://rwjms.umdnj.edu/education/gsbs/msbs.html

These one-year programs are a good fit for motivated individuals interested in pursuing careers in the biomedical sciences or health related professions, especially medicine. The MBS requires the completion of a capstone project and the MSBS requires the completion of a research thesis.

Prospective students are required to submit the results of the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) or the Graduate Record Examination. Generally it is expected that students will have MCAT scores above 22 or GRE scores in the 60th percentile or higher.

The following additional information was obtained from emailing GSBS officials:

GSBS plans to accept a total of 20 students into both programs i.e. 10 students in the MSBS and 10 in the MBS or more students in the MSBS than the MBS (or vice versa) as long as the total is about 20. If GSBS gets a significant number of qualified applicants, the students accepted into the programs may go up to 40. However, since this is the programs' first year, it is GSBS' intention to keep the the class size small.

At present, GSBS don't have an "official" agreement with its medical school, wherein masters students who do well in these new programs will be offered an interview at the medical school when they apply. GSBS is in the process, though, of exploring such a linkage between the masters programs and the medical school and hopes to be offering this benefit as part of the masters programs.
