REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINE PHYSIOLOGY

OBS&GYN 800

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

MEDICINE 720

Provides a broad grounding in endocrinology and metabolism with an emphasis on human and human-related disorders wherever possible. Explores further the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which the endocrine regulation of metabolism acts to preserve mammalian health, and how dysfunction in these mechanisms leads to disease, with an emphasis on diabetes, obesity and hypertension.

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.

OBS&GYN 712

Provides advanced learning opportunities in Endocrinology and Reproductive Physiology areas, particularly reproduction, emphasizing human health whenever possible. Explores scientific questions core to the ERP graduate training program and teaches how to communicate research findings as presentations. Skills developed include information discovery; organization of papers and identification of argument(s); and creation of documents/reports. Students are the driving force behind achievement of the learning objectives by undertaking learning activities, actively engaging in their peers' activities, and providing constructive feedback to their peers. Prior completion ofOBS&GYN 710recommended but not required.

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.
