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.

Open only to Ph.D. candidates in the pharmacological sciences training program. A study of current topics of interest in pharmacology and related fields. Students are required to present materials for discussion.
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.
This course initiates students in the practices, research methods, and intellectual strategies in the interdisciplinary and multimedia field of the Public Humanities, which promotes civically engaged and public-facing modes of pedagogy and scholarly production. Today, humanists are called to operate in an expanded media field, to engage with publics well beyond academia, and to better think through the conditions of environmental, racial, ableist, linguistic, legal, gender inequality that concern them. Critical new arts and humanities scholarship and teaching now develops in close collaboration with communities and institutions that exist outside of academic silos and literary media, beyond campus and the canon. All the while, community organizers, activists, and policy makers the world over have long mobilized art, spatial, and literary practices as modes of community building and—at their best—as crucial to processes of emancipation. Yet disciplinary-bound methods of research and teaching prove limited for the art historian drawn to shape a public voice through aural media, the philosopher who aims at teaching incarcerated students through performance, and the literary scholar whose work engages climate justice and exhibitions spaces—to sketch but a few of the experimental and expanded modes of public scholarship that students from across the humanities are increasingly imagining.
Building Publics introduces such students to one another and to the central approaches of this rapidly developing field, and will ask that they apply them to the design of their own public project. Situated at the intersection of humanistic and social work and open to all students from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the course will integrate the study of projects and concepts informing the public humanities with training in methods of digital scholarship and civic field-work. Readings and discussion sessions will provide students basic familiarity with socially engaged humanistic practices developed chiefly through art, architecture, and literature and expose them to underlying theories on praxis, intersectionality, coloniality, digital scholarship and oral history. In the process, we will discuss the complex logistics of community building and social action, consider the possibilities and limitations of the engaged humanist, and develop methods for research on and engagement with non-academic publics and organizations. The course is aimed at students who look to develop civically engaged scholarsh

In this seminar, we will study Cicero's
De amicitia
(44 BCE), a dialogue on friendship that forms part of the author's multi-volume philosophical "encyclopedia" composed under Caesar's dictatorship. Reading the work in the original Latin, we will consider its philosophical content; formal features; politics; and place within the larger history of friendship, at Rome and beyond.
This seminar sets Homer's Iliad and Sappho's lyric poems in relation to each other around topics involving time – including narrative time, beginnings and endings, timeliness, and temporality, as well as rhythm and tempo, syncopation, bodily timing and performance, and chronotopic dynamics. It proposes to think as well about textual time, meaning both how different genres orchestrate time and tempo but also how these authors are treated in ancient and modern reception. We will read theoretical studies of time and temporality, the event, and periodicity, as well as those more focused on genre and occasional performance. Discussions will center around close attendance on specific images and dynamics in the ancient texts, as well as the ways in which theoretical frames may illuminate these. Thus, for instance, seminars juxtapose the epic punctuation of bodies in space with Sappho's female lovers on the move, with scholarly readings deployed to critique the epic-lyric divide around these dynamics. A central and recurrent figure in this scheme is Helen, who is presented in Homeric epic as the central catalyst for the violent unfolding of events (i.e., the Trojan War) and who functions in lyric poetry as a cathexis for the violent consequences of desire.
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.
