Proseminar for Introduction to Clinical and Translational Science

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

This proseminar will include a small group of students participating in the BCTR Scholars Program (BSP) to meet regularly to discuss the connection between course materials and their experiences in the BSP program. This seminar will be semi-structured around the weekly discussion questions posted by BSP student to be responsive to their interests and the direction that they would like the discussion to move toward. Students will be expected to discuss how the course material may connect with their upcoming experiences in community agencies (BSP students are placed in agencies during the summer), and how the course and the BSP connect to their educational and career aspirations. Guest faculty and project leaders working with community partners will be invited to join these proseminars, and specific individuals will be recruited based on availability and BSP student's expressed topical interests.
