Foundations of Biomedical Research I

School of Medicine

The major goals of this course for MSTP students in their first year of Medical School are to help them to gain familiarity in reading primary research literature, including utilization of statistical analyses, and to aid the students in selection of a thesis mentor and in understanding of appropriate expectations for both mentor and mentee. These goals will be accomplished in a casual setting through interactions with potential MSTP-eligible faculty and lab members, consultation with faculty advisors, and primary literature discussions. Students will be assessed based upon course participation. Open to students in the Medical Scientist Training Program only. First year.
