| School of Medicine - Research Elective - Translational Research: From Bench to Bedside (GCRR 4025) | ||
| Description
- Research-centered elective experience with an established
investigator, as a full-time member of a UTMB investigative team,
during a 4-week period or longer. Provisions for combining
redundant course requirements are considered for students enrolled in
both this course and the basic science selective course GCRU 4011.
Students may also enroll in this course during the Medical Student
Summer Research Program (MSSRP). The course is designed for individuals considering an academic career in a clinical department or those with an interest in translational research, basic research that has potential for translation to clinical care or public health, or clinical research conducted at the GCRC or sites other than the GCRC. Students interested in clinical practice will benefit from a better understanding of clinical research. Potential usefulness of this selective for future clinical practice include: 1) better understanding of multi-center and national studies, which increasingly include practicing physicians outside academic medical centers as principal investigators, 2) ability to provide better advice to their patients when asked by the patient whether or not (s)he should participate in a clinical trial, and 3) direct experience with clinical research should enhance their understanding in reading the medical literature and their future continuing medical education throughout their careers. |

School of Medicine - Basic Science and Humanities Selective - Translational Research: From Bench to Bedside (GCRU 4011) Description - Research-centered experience with an established investigator, as a full-time member of a UTMB investigative team, during a 4-week period. Provisions for combining redundant course requirements are considered for students enrolled in both this course and the research elective course GCRR 4025. This multidisciplinary selective course should be of particular interest to students who wish to pursue a career that includes clinical or translational research. Students with research interests in the basic sciences may also benefit from a better understanding of how basic science findings are translated into clinical and public health benefits. Students interested in clinical practice will benefit from a better understanding of clinical research.
