Boundaries of Science and Medical Practice

Catalog description

Translational Science will be explored through term-based learning with class discussion of assigned cases. At the end of the course, the students will describe and analyze the use of appropriate clinical and translational research techniques, evidence-based medicine and outcomes research methods; identify gaps between basic science knowledge and clinical practice for specific clinical questions pertinent to their area of research; propose the steps needed to apply basic science knowledge to outline possible experiments that are feasible and compliant with regulatory and ethical issues; and identify significant clinical questions/hypotheses that would benefit from translational research programs. 2025-26 Degree Offered: Concentration
