The Sociology Frontiers Graduate Student Workshop is intended for Sociology graduate students and will run in conjunction with the newly instituted Sociological Frontiers Colloquium. It will provide an opportunity for students to read and discuss the works presented by Frontiers Colloquium speakers. Students are required to attend both the Workshop and the Frontiers Colloquium, which will meet 5 times over the course of the 2024-2025 academic year (3 times in the Fall and 2 times in the Spring). The Frontiers Colloquium is sponsored by Columbia University’s Sociology Department and will bring leading sociologists who are doing cutting-edge research to speak to faculty and students in the department. The speaker list for this year will be announced in August 2024.
This course during the final semester of the DPT III curriculum provides students with the continued development of medical screening concepts with a focus on the evaluation and assessment of patient cases/scenarios. Using a patient case-based approach, this course will emphasize utilizing clinical decision making/differential diagnosis skills effectively and efficiently related to the concept of threshold detection to identify impairments or “red flags” in medical screening that warrant referral to other professionals. Using previously established examination schemes, students will evaluate patient data in order to select the next-best history question to ask or the next-best physical examination procedure to help rule out potential pathological processes. Existing medical screening guidelines will be reviewed and applied to the various cases-illustrating appropriate use of the guidelines and also potential limitations. Professional communication skills and strategies with patients/clients and physicians will be applied and practiced throughout the course.
Candidates for the M.S. degree may conduct an investigation of some problem in biomedical engineering. No more than 6 points in this course may be counted for graduate credit.
Screenwriting concentrates who are focusing on Screenwriting MUST take Screenwriting Thesis Workshop with their advisor at least once during Research Arts matriculation in order to graduate. Students may take this class with their advisor whenever it is offered. They should consult with their advisor if they are considering taking Thesis Workshop at the same time as Script Revision or TV Revision.
