This is the second in a series of four clinical education seminars designed to prepare students for their full-time clinical education experiences. This course prepares students for the Clinical Education I experience including fulfillment of all clinical site requirements. Expectations for the Clinical Education I experience are discussed and students set individualized clinical education goals. All students complete a self-guided training session required for use of the Physical Therapist Clinical Performance Instrument. Sessions also address sharing and soliciting feedback and preparing a clinical in-service.
This is the third and final full-time clinical education experience. Students in good academic standing who have satisfactorily completed all prerequisite professional courses for a total of 18 weeks of full-time clinical education. Students may be placed in 1 or 2 different clinical practice areas depending on interests related to projected practice postgraduation. This final clinical education experience provides students with an opportunity to further develop skills used in the First Clinical Education Experience and the Intermediate Clinical Education Experience as well as practice new skills in conjunction with the advanced seminar course and electives taken in preparation for entry-level practice. Students are required to give an in-service or case study presentation in partial fulfillment of the requirements of this experience.
The dissertation colloquium is a non-credit course open to MESAAS doctoral students who have completed the M.Phil. degree. It provides a forum in which the entire community of dissertation writers meets, bridging the departments different fields and regions of research. It complements workshops outside the department focused on one area or theme. Through an encounter with the diversity of research underway in MESAAS, participants learn to engage with work anchored in different regions and disciplines and discover or develop what is common in the departments post-disciplinary methods of inquiry. Since the community is relatively small, it is expected that all post-M.Phil. students in residence will join the colloquium. Post M.Phil. students from other departments may request permission to join the colloquium, but places for non-MESAAS students will be limited. The colloquium convenes every semester, meeting once every two weeks. Each meeting is devoted to the discussion of one or two pre-circulated pieces of work (a draft prospectus or dissertation chapter). Every participant contributes at least one piece of work each year.
Open only to Ph.D. candidates in the pharmacological sciences training program. Students are assigned to selected research laboratories to learn current fundamental laboratory techniques.
Prerequisite: instructors permission. Participation in medical informatics educational activities under the direction of a faculty adviser.

By volume of surviving writing and importance especially as a historical source Josephus (37-c.100 CE) must count as a major Greek writer, yet his works have little or no place in classics curricula. This is to be sure to some extent the fate of Imperial Greek writers more generally, but Josephus has largely been excluded from the mainstream of Imperial Greek, too. This is not simply a matter of prejudice: the exclusion itself requires careful scholarly scrutiny. Meanwhile, though, Josephus’s writing is inevitable. Without him, we would know very little about the Hellenistic and early Roman Levant; centrally important topics in early Imperial history, such as ‘client kingship’, would be massively impoverished; we would lack our most detailed and accurate source for the assassination of Gaius and the accession of Claudius (Antiquities book 19); we would know of no provincial rebellion from the inside; Jewish history would be a blank and with it an opportunity to understand the costs of Roman rule for a population less privileged than the Greeks would be lost.
Prerequisites: Prerequisites; GR6011, another introductory astrophysics course or the instructor's permission; basic General Relativity or familiarity with tensors in flat space. A continuation of G6011. Likely topics include shocks and their application to supernovae; pulsar wind nebulae; atomic physics of astrophysical plasmas; accretion onto magnetized neutron stars and white dwarfs; thick accretion disks, non-thermal X-ray generation processes; particle acceleration and propagation; gravitational wave radiation; magnetars.
Students will work with their faculty advisor and hospital preceptor to implement their individual quality improvement project developed in N7060.Furthermore, students will apply and synthesize the theories, competencies, and concepts of the Advanced Clinical Management and Leadership program.This will be demonstrated through assignments and experiences with precepted nurse leaders. The process will allow the student to take part in summative assessment on work done throughout the program.
The Actor acquires objective skills--how to: (1) marry truthful contemporary acting technique to classical verse, (2) decode iambic pentameter, (3) set the word against the word, (4) listen and hear Willie Shakes’ “clues”, (4) “freshly mint” imagery, (5) use sound devices actively (alliteration, onomatopoeia, etc), and (6) “take the audience along”. Then the Actor will learn subjective skills: (1) Irony & Ambiguity, (2) Passion & Coolness, and (3) Interpreting & Crafting the Character. The course’s learning: crafting a character is the marriage of the objective and subjective skills plus the actor’s idea for the part.
Neo-Latin is in many ways a loose category of description that is problematic because the term scarcely captures anything like the full diversity of the modes, styles, and functions of the writings that it encompasses: it broadly denotes original works written in the Latin language from the dawn of the Renaissance down to approximately 1900. Specialists in Neo-Latin have of course long shed important light on many texts that have received renewed scrutiny, and even been ‘rediscovered,’ through this important area of research. In recent times classicists, too, have increasingly focused on the transformations of Greco-Roman literary, philosophical, and socio-political culture in many later historical epochs, literatures, and cultural settings across the globe; prominent among these areas of Reception Study is that devoted to Neo-Latin. Columbia University has long had a committed scholarly interest in Neo-Latin, especially of the Renaissance period, in which scholars such as Paul Oskar Kristeller and Eugene Rice commanded great international renown. The Columbia University Seminar in the Renaissance that was founded in 1945 by Paul Oskar Kristeller and John Herman Randall remains a thriving institution to this day.
