Students will find much to use when tackling a master’s degree thesis, future article, study proposal, or even an effective memorandum or professional communications. CVR 7200—Bioethics and Ethical Issues in Health Care Health care professionals are required to act morally and ethically. This course is designed to expand the student’s basic understanding of ethics, promoting ethical awareness and enabling students to derive better health care decisions that reduce the risk of potential ethical consequences. Exposing students to bioethics and controversial ethical issues typically encountered in current health care allows them to practice making difficult decisions. Students will synthesize and implement strategies for applying morals, values, and ethics systematically in the various settings in which health care is delivered. Considering the perspectives of all stakeholders and the role of the health care provider, patient advocate, professional, and consumer of medical care, students will gain workable knowledge of contemporary ethical issues and appreciate that ethics permeate the majority of decisions made in health care. CVR 7300—Biostatistics This basic statistical course will introduce elementary methods for presenting biological data in summary form, analyzing biological data, and designing experiments. It is not a mathematics course, so will not stress derivations of formulae but, rather, will emphasize the application of statistical ideas and methods to the analysis and interpretation of biological experiments and comparative data. The student will be able to assess a situation involving data analysis, state the null and alternative hypotheses proposed, decide on the correct statistical procedure to test the null hypothesis and the assumptions of the test used, calculate the statistic, assess its statistical significance, and interpret the data in light of the calculated result. Assessment of a student’s performance will be done through the use of problem sets, quizzes, and a final exam.
