GPLS 791 TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH SEMINAR
This seminar course designed to give scientists (graduate students or postdoctoral fellows), clinicians, and other interested parties the basic information to assess the therapeutic and diagnostic potential of basic science research
discoveries. It also provides students with the tools to approach translational research in their present and future work. The course covers the core competencies in clinical and translational research; each session addresses core thematic areas. Students meet once per week for a 1.5- hour period for 10 weeks. Faculty members give a 40-minute lecture, followed by a 20-minute PowerPoint presentation by a student. The presentation is followed by a 30-minute
discussion in which all students are encouraged to participate. Students are given a take-home short answer question, based on each lecture. The student presentations and short answers count toward the final grade. An assigned paper is also given.
