Interdisciplinary research is an approach to advancing scientific knowledge in which researchers from different disciplines work at the borders of those disciplines in order to address complex questions and problems. Successful interdisciplinary efforts require mastery of specific competencies. This seminar will introduce students to competencies in interdisciplinary research through a combination of readings, case studies, and lectures in each necessary aspect, chosen from fields essential to successful interdisciplinary research. It is intended to assist learners to understand why and how different professional disciplines must work together to generate and disseminate knowledge. We will examine: different conceptualizations of interdisciplinary; barriers to and facilitators of interdisciplinary research; approaches, benefits, and limitations of collaboration and team science; methods for measuring interdisciplinary collaboration; the intersection of translational and interdisciplinary scientific strategies; and individual researchers' experiences with and evaluations of their own interdisciplinary scientific projects. Learners will develop a set of skills to be effective members and leaders of interdisciplinary research teams.
All graduate students are required to attend the departmental colloquium as long as they are in residence. Advanced doctoral students may be excused after 3 years of residence. No degree credit is granted
This course is intended to provide a strong foundation in the concepts of genetics and clinical applicability of genomic concepts commonly seen in advance practice nurses’ clinical practice. Both classical Mendelian and molecular genetics will be examined, in order to provide a knowledge base that will enable the advanced practice nurse to integrate genetic and genomic knowledge into clinical practice. Using a case discussion approach, clinical issues of genetics testing, genetic exceptionalism, individualized risk assessments and predictions are explored throughout their life span.

This resident-centered faculty-guided seminar course offers the orthopedic resident an opportunity to reflect and revisit their clinical experience with a specific patient for the purpose of providing the most comprehensive and highest quality care in the future through self-assessment, clinical development, evidence gathering, and professional reflection. Residents bring their own clinical experience to share in the course and will then reflect on the evaluation and management of one patient/client case involving the upper quarter. Residents will analyze the clinical decision making process, actual and potential modifications to the plan of care, and the outcomes of the case from the broad perspective of all International Classification of Functioning domains and the specific focus of advanced orthopedic practice. Consideration will be given to insightful analysis of the best available evidence, the advantages and biases of clinical experience, and deductive and inductive critical thinking in the pursuit of expert practice. Emphasis will be placed on the impact of such analysis on future clinical decision-making and future case management.
