Course Description:
Students must complete one research practicum. This is a full-semester research experience during the summer following the first year. Successful completion of the research practicum is a requirement for admission to candidacy. A report by the principal investigator that the student has clearly demonstrated the potential for productive and independent investigation will be a requirement for admission into candidacy.
At the beginning of the research practicum, the principal investigator will discuss the criteria that will be used to evaluate the performance of the student during the laboratory rotation. The Pharmacology Academic Programs Manager wil provide a written copy to all students at the beginning of the practicum.
Students are required to write a report and to present a 15-minute talk following the completion of the research practicum. Students are encouraged to work with the principal investigator who will assist them in the preparation and organization of the oral presentation.
