An area of independent study is defined and a hypothesis proposed as part of an ongoing interaction between the student and the laboratory mentor. Necessary methodological skills are learned by the student early in the course of study to allow data acquisition for subsequent analysis and interpretation. As the year progresses, students participate in "work in progress" seminars that focus on the development of scientific information. Emphasis is placed on experimental design and statistical analysis. At the end of the year, each student is expected to have completed a project of sufficient merit to warrant presentation and publication. Further, the Department of Anesthesiology offers a unique opportunity for the students to present their projects in a formal setting moderated by an external reviewer of national stature.
All students are offered a workshop in "Research Methodology/Experimental Design" at the beginning of the year. Additional courses in Physiology and Medicine of Extreme Environments are available for interested students.
Students meet with the Study Program Director to monitor progress in the laboratory. The Course Directors meet regularly regarding individual progress of students in the laboratories.
