LMP 2344: Translational Thinking

Type: Module

Credit: 0.25 FCE

Overview

This is a module and counts as 0.25 FCE.

Learning outcomes

The main objective of this module is to facilitate students as they use the Toronto Translational Thinking framework to:

Explore project domains, needs & problems.
Identify project teams, resources & milestones.
Develop a clear capstone proposal for review.

Description

This module is designed to allow students to apply the Toronto Translational Framework to define their Capstone project’s. The module is designed as a series of workshops and follow up activities intended to move students through the process of understanding a specific problem space, defining a range of patient-centric needs; analyzing a specific gap to define a particular problem, and to be able to articulate that program in the form of a research proposal. This module is meant to supplement the introduction provided in LMP 2301 and apply the learned approaches to develop or refine a translational capstone project.

Enrolment

Students are required to complete eight modules (0.25 FCE each) spread out within 2 years of study. Students may enroll in modular courses using ACORN. The modular schedule will be emailed to students prior to the start of each semester. Modules offered outside of the program are also permitted such as ones offered by the Institute of Medical Science (IMS).
