BCH 625 - SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATIONS

College of Medicine

Credits: 2

To be useful, scientific research needs to be explained clearly to others–to colleagues, to administrators, to foundations and governmental bodies, and to the public. This course will give students the tools to effectively present their data, their ideas, and themselves to the scientific community. Through a series of directed exercises the students will learn how to write an abstract, a scientific paper, and a grant, and to prepare a poster and to give an oral presentation. The class will draw examples, topics, and exercises from current literature.

Prerequisite(s):
