CLRES 2725 - TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH PRACTICUM

Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 3
The purpose of the translational research practicum is for trainees to develop a particular skill set not offered in the usual curriculum for credit towards the translational research track Master's degree. Laboratory rotations are critical for t1 training and specialty skill development and are done in most graduate science programs. This practical format will emphasize t1 research activities and allow students to earn 1-3 credits of subspecialty elective credit by attending an intensive mini-course, lab rotation in a Pitt lab other than their primary mentor, or by doing a rotation at another institution to learn a new technique. Each trainee is required to work with an experienced investigator who formally agrees to provide the trainee mentorship. Prior to approval of the elective, trainees are expected to provide an outline of readings relevant for the practicum objectives and at the end of the practicum provide summaries of their experiences and reading materials. They can write up their findings for possible publication under the supervision of the investigators and are expected to provide a written summary of their involvement that is validated by their mentors at the end of the experience.
