CRITICAL THINKING IN REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINE PHYSIOLOGY

OBS&GYN 800

Special topics in endocrinology and/or reproductive physiology. Topics may vary.

ANSCI/OBS&GYN/ZOOLOGY 954

Promotes scientific and professional development. Presenters develop and deliver research presentations to a scientific audience, field questions, and receive critiques about their presentation style and scientific approach. Additional presentations include professional development, career advancement opportunities, and topics of interest to the endocrinology and reproduction community at large.

ANSCI/DYSCI 434

Principles of reproductive physiology, improvement of fertility, and artificial insemination.

OBS&GYN 710

A broad grounding in reproductive endocrine physiology at the graduate level, with an emphasis on human and human reproductive health wherever possible. Encompasses an overview of fundamental concepts in endocrinology, the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, steroidogenesis, early embryonic development, pregnancy and maternal-fetal adaptations, and pathologies associated with endocrine disruption and dysregulation. Provides more focus on pathologic pregnancies because such pregnancies lead to a higher risk of adult onset diseases including hypertension, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Covers pregnancy and pathologic pregnancy in detail.

OBS&GYN 711

Advanced learning opportunities in Endocrinology and Reproductive Physiology (ERP) areas, particularly reproduction, with an emphasis on human health whenever possible. Explore scientific questions core to the ERP graduate training program at research level with further in-depth instruction and a focus on cutting-edge knowledge and developments. Topics include pregnancy (ovulation through parturition); embryonic growth and development; lactation biology; and neuroendocrinology. Continuation ofOBS&GYN 710. Intended for second- or third-year graduate students.
