Supervised directed readings and literature review in areas relevant to a students research program.
This course focuses on an advanced topic in the philosophy of language.
The course is intended to provide a hands‐on introduction to delivering data visualizations to serve as a critical lens through which individual and population level health can be examined. The course will combine concepts and theory in data visualization and exploration and practice to prepare the learner to begin using graphics and statistics to explore data, find and construct a narrative, and share findings in ways colleagues and decision-makers can readily understand and act upon. Topics may include: (a) principles of human perception and attention that inform visualization design; (b) The use of visualization to explore data and discover a narrative; (c) the use of visualization to communicate effectively with others; 4) the development of practical skills, including preparing datasets and applying programing language to analyze data and produce visualizations.
Interaction with practitioners/guest speakers is an integral part of this course as a way for students to understand real data and information challenges. Concept lectures and case studies concentrate on learning to scope and manage complex data science projects. Lab work will focus on gaining competency with data science/visualization tools and techniques (e.g., Jupyter Notebook, R programming language) applied to an integrated health-relevant data set.

The first third of this Seminar will introduce a framework and theory for addressing the nature of intentional content, and apply it to such classical issues as the structure of justification, the a priori, and logical inference. The remainder of the Seminar will apply the theory to develop an account of intentional content in the perception of music. I will use the resulting account to explain the significance and interest of music, musical communication, the mental representation of music, and the relation of music to other art forms, especially poetry.
This course addresses the application of epidemiology and environmental approaches to inform the clinical practice of health care of individuals. An understanding of health sciences based on groups of people, including environmental health, occupational health, and some aspects of genetics, can orient the practitioner with an individual patient. These external influences are modified through social, cultural, and behavioral factors. Addressing these factors should help to anticipate and improve patient outcomes.
All matriculated graduate students are required to attend the seminar as long as they are in residence. No degree credit is granted. The seminar is the principal medium of communication among those with biomedical engineering interests within the University. Guest speakers from other institutions, Columbia faculty, and students within the Department who are advanced in their studies frequently offer sessions.
MA Film & Media Studies students register for this class to receive academic credit for their thesis work.
The residency focuses on the delivery of fully accountable scope, health care across the continuum of sites and patient needs. This residency requires students to apply the knowledge of: 1) diagnosis and management of ambulatory patients with complex diagnoses and comorbid conditions in the context of family, community and culture, 2) diagnosis and management of patients requiring interventions available only in an acute care setting and 3) diagnosis and management of patients who are unable to function independently due to age alterations and/or deficits in mental or physical status, developmental, perceptual and physical disability and chronic, degenerative illness. Sites include hospital based clinics, ambulatory centers, private offices, emergency rooms, walk-in clinics and acute/critical care units, labor and delivery suites in the hospital facilities and settings which provide hospice care, supportive care, home care, nursing home care, rehabilitative care, technologically dependent care and assisted living services. The DNP student will demonstrate an integration of comprehensive assessment, advanced differential diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and evaluation of care for patients and synthesis of evidence-based practice with patients with a variety of conditions. In this context, the DNP student will organize and develop a professional portfolio.
The DNP student will complete the scholarly project requirement while enrolled in this course. The student will develop a poster, presentation, manuscript or other product that will need to be peer reviewed and accepted. Documentation of the product being accepted through peer review is required and should be uploaded into the student portfolio along with the final product. Dissemination of the scholarly project is required, for example, through presentation or publication. The DNP student will work alone or in a group of up to three people. This will be the final requirement for their professional portfolio.
The DNP intensive practicum focuses on the delivery of fully accountable, evidenced based care for patients across clinical sites. The DNP student will demonstrate an integration of comprehensive assessment, advanced differential diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, evaluation of care for patients and synthesis of evidence-based practice with patients with a variety of conditions. In this context, the DNP student will organize and develop a professional portfolio.

The DNP portfolio is designed to assist students in meeting CUSON DNP competencies as demonstrated in written case narrative and competency based clinical encounters. Students will be assigned a faculty member who will provide guidance in identifying appropriate patient encounters, reviewing and editing all written work associated with demonstrating competency-based learning. This course repeats sequentially for 3 semesters.
Continuous registration
is required of MS students until all requirements (including the Thesis) have been completed. Continuous registration means the student must be registered each and every semester or, he or she must be on an official leave of absence. If continuous registration is not maintained, the student must apply for readmission to the Graduate School. ‘Continuous Registration’ includes summer sessions.
Students can satisfy the continuous registration requirement and maintain their current status by registering for Matriculation and Facilities (MTCF9751), allowing them access to all University facilities. It is important for students to request leaves of absence in writing for any term in which they will be away from the University. This may be for reasons of ill health, maternity or paternity leave, military service, or other reasons deemed to be acceptable for leave by the University. If a student does not officially request a leave of absence and does not register for a semester, the student MUST apply for readmission to the University before registration is allowed. Prior to submitting the leave of absence form, students must meet with their advisor to discuss academic progress, plans, and leave. Students should understand that taking a leave during the period in which the Department has offered support may result in a loss of funding. To request a leave of absence, submit the completed Leave of Absence form, available online at

along with a letter of intent to the Chair of the Department for consideration.

This course will take on the topic of the analyst’s humanity, mortality and fragility as a way of opening up an area which does not seem to have been officially taught at analytic institutes. Given the nature of the transference /countertransference matrix, these matters are much more complex than the situation that pertains for doctors and practitioners who tend to the physical body. We will focus on the topic of the analyst’s illness and death, from the perspective of expanding our awareness and clinical technique around these difficult to manage topics.
This course is an exploration of play in work with adults and in the nature of interpretation drawing from different theoretical schools, including Field Theory, Independents, and Relational. We will look at the concept of play through constructs such as transference-countertransference engagement, enactment, defense, and unconscious fantasy. We will also consider new elements of play such as the interdependence and paradox of mourning and playing, as well as questions regarding an ethic of playing. The clinical examples that we will present to each other are likely to be puzzling, paradoxical, and enigmatic in capturing places of play within the intersubjective setting of analytic work.
A candidate for the Eng.Sc.D. degree in biomedical engineering must register for 12 points of doctoral research instruction. Registration may not be used to satisfy the minimum residence requirement for the degree.
