Interdisciplinary Research

Catalog description

Interdisciplinary Research This course introduces IHS PhD students to the complexities of interdisciplinary research in the health sciences using a "case studies" approach. Students will be required to find, read, synthesize and summarize published research from each of the research programs studied, and published research from their designated "research area". As students complete the work required for this course they will also improve their professional skills in searching the literature, reading and synthesizing theoretical content and empirical reports, preparing presentations, and writing doctoral level papers. Prerequisite: Admission to the doctoral program and departmenta approval.
