GPLS 781 TRANSLATIONAL PSYCHIATRY
The primary goal of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to integrate molecular and systems models of the brain into the context of thought disorder and mental illness and the translation of this work into the clinical setting. The course utilizes a paired teaching technique (basic scientist paired with clinician) time for integration and discussion. Field trips to imaging facilities, virtual reality labs and clinical research facilities facilitate a better understanding of translational research. Course work includes a 'translational' grant writing exercise, a mock review and student presentations. The course culminates in a 'reviewed' grant proposal on Innovative Translational research.
