Introduction to Medical Sciences - A Novel Course for Graduate Students in Biological and Engineering Science
Jane
Parnes, Immuno. & Rheum.
Elizabeth Mellins, Pediatrics
Decker
Walker, School of Education
Larry Leifer, Mechanical Engineering
The main goal of this proposal was to develop
a new, cross-disciplinary course to teach medicine
to graduate students in biological sciences and
bioengineering. We proposed to use the multi-system
disease diabetes mellitus as the basis for teaching
about medicine and human disease. We further proposed
to evaluate the initial version of the course
in collaboration with the Stanford Learning Laboratory
and the School of Education, and to use the knowledge
gained from this pilot course to revise and teach
the course in the second year.
We are currently planning the second version of
Immunology 230 with improvements based on suggestions
that came out of the evaluation process, and we
have begun to consider additional cross-disciplinary
curriculum development. |
