This course focuses on fundamental principles in systems pharmacology and their application. Topics include: the effect of body biochemical processes on the disposition of drugs, including quantitative expression of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME); the use statistical analysis in pharmacology; specific aspects of systems pharmacology, including autonomic and cardiovascular pharmacology, neuropharmacology and toxicology. These letures deal with both basic principles and current topics within these disciplines.

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 will consider two authors whose work is disparate in medium, genre, and time period. The two have some things in common, however, in particular that their work has resisted categorization as either satirical (in a modern rather than ancient sense) or not. We will first focus on Plautus’
Truculentus
– in complement and contrast with some of his other plays – which has long baffled scholars but has come to be understood as “satire” rather than pure comedy. We will investigate this claim and then turn to Petronius’
Satyricon
to ask many of the same questions. Much of the “satirical” designation of Petronius’ work has relied heavily on the representation of Trimalchio and his circle. We will, therefore, focus particularly on the (considerably less studied) parts of the text before and after the famous Cena sequence, in order to see whether and, if so, how far, its description as satirical holds up.
Prerequisites: JPNS W4017-W4018 and the instructors permission. Selected works in modern Japanese fiction and criticism.
Research in an area of mechanical engineering culminating in a verbal presentation and a written thesis document approved by the thesis adviser. Must obtain permission from a thesis adviser to enroll. Recommended enrollment for two terms, one of which can be the summer. A maximum of 6 points of master’s thesis may count toward an M.S. degree, and additional research points cannot be counted. On completion of all master’s thesis credits, the thesis adviser will assign a single grade. Students must use a department-recommended format for thesis writing.

Prerequisites: Pre-requisites: (INAF U6301 or INAF U6022 or INAF U6045) and SIPA U6200 This course extends the valuation techniques introduced in INAF U6301 by considering several issues in corporate finance that are of particular interest to international affairs students: leverage and valuation techniques: WACC, APV and FTE; the international cost of capital and international capital budgeting; and public-private partnerships. The course will combine lecture time and in-class case discussions. The goal of the course is to provide students with an understanding of both sound theoretical principles of valuation and finance and the practical environment in which financial decisions are made.
A course on contemporary transatlantic economic relations with particular emphasis on the US-EU dimension. Topics include: macroeconomic responses to the Covid-19 crisis and lessons learned from the financial crises of 2008 and 2010; US-EU differences in relations with China; transatlantic implications of Brexit; prospects for US-UK and US-EU trade agreements; the digital economy and data privacy; European competition and tax policy toward U.S. high tech firms; dollar-euro diplomacy and the international roles of the dollar and euro; the economic dimension to transatlantic security.
The main objective of the course is to give students a working knowledge of current corporate governance and stewardship concepts and practices, and understanding of the debates among investors, policymakers, lawyers and financial economists on the role of corporations in society. The course focuses on the role of the CEO, the Board of Directors, and generally the powers and interests of investors, management, and other stakeholders in determining firms’ actions and performance. The course covers the central role of the market for corporate control and shareholder activism. In recent years, sustainability and ESG have become an increasingly important concern for companies and their investors; accordingly, wealth managers’ stewardship and efforts to support sustainability are examined in detail. Analytical tools used by practitioners to study corporate governance will be introduced. Agency theory and the economics of financial contracting provide an important analytical framework. Event study analyses and metrics of financial performance are central empirical tools. In addition, case studies and ongoing relevant news stories will be referred to to illustrate how crises and conflict situations are managed and resolved in practice.

This intensive 15-week course during the first semester of the DPT curriculum provides students with detailed coverage of human anatomy through lecture and cadaver dissection. The focus of the course is on structure and the integral relationship between structure and function. A comprehensive understanding of normal structure and function provides the foundation for understanding abnormal structure and function. Both the lecture and laboratory components of the course are critical to success in the program and as a competent entry-level clinician. This course uses a regional approach to study the gross anatomical structures of the human body, with emphasis on the musculoskeletal system and its associated vascular and neural elements. The structure of synovial joints and their soft tissue support systems will be addressed. The thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities will be explored. Aspects of structure and function as they relate to clinical correlates will be highlighted throughout the course.
Course changes from 1.5 to 3.00
