Basic science departments include Anatomical Sciences, Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, Neurobiology and Behavior, Oral Biology and Pathology (in conjunction with the School of Dental Medicine), Pathology, Pharmacological Sciences, and Physiology and Biophysics. Clinical departments include the departments of Anesthesiology, Dermatology, Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Medicine, Neurological Surgery, Neurology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics, Pediatrics, Preventive Medicine, Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, Radiation Oncology, Radiology, Surgery, and Urology. In addition to instruction at the undergraduate and professional levels, these departments have major responsibility for graduate, postgraduate, and continuing education.

Graduate studies in basic science are closely coordinated with those in the division of biological sciences and are conducted under the general regulations of the Graduate Council and the dean of the Graduate School.
