Courses
IDPT 500S Responsible Conduct of Research 2.0 Credits
This two credit course is offered twice a year, one evening a week. It is presented using lecture, discussion and problem-based curriculum approaches, with associated required readings in texts. Some topics additionally require web-based exercises and quizzes. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty discuss current issues of scientific integrity that all scientists encounter in their research. Solutions to hypothetical and real research challenges and ethical dilemmas are discussed and debated by trainees and faculty. Course sessions and discussions are led by a team of faculty leaders, including department head, deans and provosts. Grades are based on quizzes, class participation, web-based exercises, a term paper and a PowerPoint presentation.

IDPT 504S Learn Early and Practice (LEAP II) 1.0 Credit
LEAP II (Learn Early as Professionals II) is the second part of a formal, lecture-based professional development program. Professional development is part of the training offered in graduate education by the Division of Biomedical Science Programs. The objective of this course is to extend our discussions on topics in professional development for beginning scientists. These topics are critical for second semester graduate students as they transition through their first year of graduate school. This course covers topics that graduate faculty, senior graduate students, and postdocs feel are important for early graduate training and future professional success. Professional development is one of the core competencies required by all graduate students in the Division of Biomedical Sciences programs.
