Courses

IDPT 500S Responsible Conduct of Research 2.0 Credits

This two credit course is offered twice a year, one evening a week. It is presented using lecture, discussion and problem-based curriculum approaches, with associated required readings in texts. Some topics additionally require web-based exercises and quizzes. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty discuss current issues of scientific integrity that all scientists encounter in their research. Solutions to hypothetical and real research challenges and ethical dilemmas are discussed and debated by trainees and faculty. Course sessions and discussions are led by a team of faculty leaders, including department head, deans and provosts. Grades are based on quizzes, class participation, web-based exercises, a term paper and a PowerPoint presentation.

IDPT 503S Searching Biomedical Literature 1.0 Credit

This course surveys information sources in the library (books, journals, computer "finding tools"), with primary focus on finding biomedical journal articles via MEDLINE. Search planning is emphasized, including points on using Medical Subject Headings and precautions when searching title/abstract words. Resources for keeping up with the literature and maintaining personal files are briefly mentioned.

IDPT 504S Learn Early and Practice (LEAP II) 1.0 Credit

LEAP II (Learn Early as Professionals II) is the second part of a formal, lecture-based professional development program. Professional development is part of the training offered in graduate education by the Division of Biomedical Science Programs. The objective of this course is to extend our discussions on topics in professional development for beginning scientists. These topics are critical for second semester graduate students as they transition through their first year of graduate school. This course covers topics that graduate faculty, senior graduate students, and postdocs feel are important for early graduate training and future professional success. Professional development is one of the core competencies required by all graduate students in the Division of Biomedical Sciences programs.

IDPT 506S Biostatistics II 2.0 Credits

Graduate Biostatistics II picks up where Biostatistics I leaves off. It teaches applications of commonly-used techniques in greater depth, with the intended audience being individuals who will be using statistics considerably in their work. This course includes one and two-way ANOVAs (and post hoc tests), multivariate techniques, power analysis, and other methods. The basic of the SPSS computer program is taught as well.

IDPT 507S Teaching Practicum I 1.0-4.0 Credit

The goal of this practicum is to provide mentored teaching experiences for graduate students enrolled in the biomedical science programs of the COM. Graduate students in COM programs can meet practicum requirements in a variety of teaching venues including but not limited to tutoring, laboratory instruction, conferences, and lectures in medical school and graduate program-specific courses. Eligible teaching experiences also include instruction for high school and undergraduate students. Credits for each practicum will be awarded according to preparation time and contact hours. 1 credit hr = 16hrs of instruction.
