Course Descriptions
Clinical Research Methods
This course reviews core epidemiologic and research principles, providing students with the basic building blocks for developing their knowledge and skills in conducting clinical research.
Medical Informatics
This course will serve as an introduction to Medical Informatics, which is the interdisciplinary science of information management in Medicine.
Introduction to Biostatistics
This course involves the introduction to probability and statistical methods utilized in the analysis and interpretation of experimental and epidemiological data with applications in biology, medicine, and the health sciences.
Biomolecular Medicine
The specific objectives of the course are to use a “case-based” approach to the uses and pitfalls of such technologies as gene microarrays, proteomic analysis, knockout and transgenic mice, high throughput screens for drug targets, siRNA and flow cytometry.
Integrative Seminar
This weekly conference over two years will be a forum for review of important issues in Clinical Research and for presentation of research projects by the students.
- Year 1: Will cover Survival Techniques for Young Investigators in Biomedical Research followed by a two-part series on the History of Medicine.
- Year 2: Will address Skills and Strategies for Grant Writing, Identifying Funding Sources, Manuscript Preparation and Publication; and Scientific Presentation Skills.
Scientific Integrity and Responsible Conduct of Clinical Research
This course is required by the NYU School of Medicine and provides important insights into general scientific ethics, regulatory responsibilities, ethical consideration of human subjects, and research reporting and intellectual property.
Clinical Trials Design
The goals of this course include: understanding the study question and the significance of addressing the question; identifying eligibility criteria; describing the intervention; selection of outcome measures including power and sample size calculations; and developing an effective analysis plan.
Introduction to Epidemiology
The goals of this course are to develop a fundamental understanding of epidemiologic principles in order to conduct independent research on health-related issues.
