LMP 1211H Foundations in Musculoskeletal Science
For students enrolled in the Collaborative Specialization in Musculoskeletal Sciences (CSMS).
A half-credit required course which will be counted, in most of the participating home programs or graduate units, towards your home degree electives.
Format
- Offered over one term
- 12 two-hour lectures
Lectures will cover topics spanning over Bones, Cartilage, and Muscles.
You will, regardless of your home graduate unit and prior learning, receive a common foundation of the topics and issues particularly relevant to designing and conducting research in the highly interdisciplinary realm of musculoskeletal science. You will achieve an enhanced appreciation of the breadth and complexities of research in the field and will be better able to discuss disparate topic areas of research, thereby, reinforcing a spirit of interdisciplinary research.
Lecturers are experts in their respective topics drawn from graduate units and clinical departments associated with the Collaborative Program in Musculoskeletal Science.
