  24. Course Description: This course will introduce the beginning gradauate student the tasks and skills necessary for success in the Biomedical Sciences PhD program, with a emphasis on ethical principles involved.

  25. Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: This material was part of a 2 credit hour course that was necessary to split into two distinct, 1 credit hour courses due to changes in the curriculum in the PhD biomedical sciences program, and due to consolidation of the basic science departments.
  26. What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? Just as when this material was offered as a one credit hour course, there is no organized forum for training in common skills available on campus. These skills, include various writing forms, oral communication, networking attending meetings etc. Most of the effort in this course will be to train students in ethical reasoning of the conflicts and bias in behavior associated with these skills.
  27. Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? Yes, several times from 1997 - 2003.
  28. What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Qualifications are a PhD in the one of the basic biomedical science disciplines.
  29. Objectives: The objectives for this course include: 1) identifying the skills that need to be developed to be a successful scientist; 2) learning the steps for reasoning in conflict resolution, as they relate to these develop skils in the biomedical sciences; 3) assessing the various methods used to choose a dissertation research project.
  30. Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course, the student should be able to 1) step through resolution of a conflict as it deals with written or oral communication skills, networking, attending meetings, etc.; 2) have learned about the methods of choosing a research project
  31. Major Topics: critical reading, attending meetings, networking, ethical principles in written and oral communication skills, choosing a dissertation project, developing a vitae and other documents, the post-doctoral experience, managing time, miscellaneous aspects of graduate student life
