Course description
This is a full credit required course which will be counted, in most of the participating home programs/ home graduate units, towards students’ home degree electives. Students, regardless of 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.
With its grant writing component, the course is mainly directed towards graduate students enrolled in a research program. Students in a course program are invited to attend but will be expected to write a research grant, subjected to the same evaluation criteria. Students outside the Collaborative Program in Musculoskeletal Science are eligible to register.
Students 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. LMP1211H is offered over one term and consists of a series of twelve two-hour lectures to cover topics spanning over Bones, Cartilage, and Muscles. Lecturers are experts in their respective topics drawn from graduate units and clinical departments associated with the Collaborative Program in Musculoskeletal Science.
