Catalog description

The course involves graduate research experience under the direct supervision of a mentor. Upon completion of the proposed research project, the student shall have at least two presentations (oral, poster or in combination) and a manuscript submitted to a peer -reviewed scientific journal. The number of hours devoted to the course shall be established between the student and the mentor. SEMN 500 TECHNICAL WRITING AND SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES 1 CREDIT The seminar explores the theoretical foundations required for scientific writing. It also evaluates the requirements described on various style manuals approved by the scientific communities. The students will analyze all required sections of a scientific paper. The course will also help the students in developing new trends in style and apply them to a print publication or digital. The student will develop the skills to write with precision, clarity and brevity the results of a research project. In the course, all concepts will be developed using responsibly technology, information skills, problem solving, case studies, research using the computer and virtual forums, among others. SEMN 501 FOUNDATIONS OF THE TRANSDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN THE INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS 1 CREDIT This seminar explores the theoretical foundations needed to understand and implement experimental designs with quantitative, qualitative or mixed investigation approaches. It also focuses on studying the basic steps used in the development of a research proposal. The students will analyze the traditional designs with multi, inter and transdisciplinary approximations within the field of Biomedical Sciences. The course concepts will be developed using the available technological resources, skills of information, case study, research in computer and virtual discussion forums, among others. SEMN 502 MANAGEMENT ASPECTS IN THE BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES 1 CREDIT This seminar integrates the quality management and administrative functions with Biomedical Sciences. The students will analyze the interaction between business components and scientific knowledge to optimize management in its various modalities. The course focuses in the managerial competencies for the development of a professional scientist able to launch and sustain a cost - effective business. The course concepts will be developed using the available technological resources, skills of information, case study, research in computer and virtual discussion forums, among others.
