<p>Since you may eventually want a PhD, I recommend that you look at PhD programs instead. Most such programs confer master’s degrees on students who finish the coursework and pass the qualifying exams, but who decide not to continue with the dissertation. This way, you’ll have all the coursework and beginning research behind you (instead of being forced to start over in a new PhD program) in case you decide to continue. Plus, you’ll be fully funded from day one. Since NYC has a lot of biomedical PhDs at various institutions (all the teaching medical centers as well as the traditional universities), you’ll find that your options will multiply. Look also at biomedical/biology umbrella programs that contain endocrinology since you may not realize at first glance that they train students in that field.</p>
