14 courses with the subject VBMS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
This course provides a foundation in educational philosophy and theories, focusing on evidence-based practices of classroom and clinical instruction. The course gives an overview of educational technology and application of instructional techniques. Students will create a classroom-ready instructional product (module, lecture, TBL, etc.). Credits 3
This first seminar course in the program provides a historical and philosophical framework for understanding, critical analysis, and synthesis in biomedical research. It includes an introduction to the PhD process, potential areas of research, and faculty mentors in the program. Credits 1
This course uses primary literature to explore landmark and emerging biomedical science research. The innovative use of existing techniques and the development of novel techniques by interdisciplinary research groups will be discussed. Students will perform selected techniques in the field or laboratory. Credits 3
This course is designed to help the student become proficient in framing research questions, including stating testable hypotheses. Credits 3
This course focuses on formal scientific writing. It emphasizes concise communication of the research process. It includes both written and oral presentations of previous relevant background studies, statement of the research question, detailing of materials and methods, linkage of claims, warrants, and evidence, and concluding discussions. Credits 3
This course explores descriptive and inferential analyses of scientific data sets, data management and verification, exploratory data analysis, handling missing data, identification and treatment of outliers, and data transformations. Students evaluate data using the assumptions and appropriate application of parametric and non-parametric tests, model fitting and verification, simulation, and the proper interpretation and presentation of results. Credits 3
The course focuses on ethical issues related to research and practice in the biomedical sciences. The course's instructional format will include a combination of lecture, video, small group discussion, and seminar. It will also include independent study of a focused topic selected by the student in consultation with their supervisor. The course will be mainly "Case Based," covering a range of topics emphasizing ethical decision-making. Ethical theory will be discussed in relation to making a reasoned and informed argument for practical courses of action. Credits 3
This course introduces students to analytical technology platforms used in life sciences molecular research. The course will review specific technologies, online databases, online calculators, and primary literature review strategies. The course will include significant laboratory instruction each week with advanced orientation to technologies including mass spectrometry, NMR, PCR, and cell fractionation. Students will be introduced to protocols for obtaining and preparing biological materials for analysis and relating molecular characterizations to the genome and metabolism. Critical review of the literature, including assigned readings, will be a key element to all aspects of the course. Two papers are required: a research methodology review and a grant proposal. Credits 3
This course will address light, electron, atomic force, and confocal microscopy as complementary study methods. The history of microscopy will allow comparison and contrasts of light and electron optics. The focus of the course will be on advanced imaging techniques, especially electron microscopy. Electron paths will be followed from filament generation of primary electrons, focusing electrons through the column, to specimen interactions generating secondary and backscattered electrons, and X- rays. Techniques will include sample fixation, dehydration, mounting, coating and storage for high and low vacuum systems. A discussion of X-ray microanalysis will show the quantitative side of advanced imaging. Students will gain hands-on experience with scanning electron microscopy. This course has complimentary lectures and lab assignments. Credits 3
This course will develop students' abilities in advanced statistical methods. Topics covered may include advanced regression analysis (e.g., logistic regression, Cox regression), survival analysis, longitudinal data analysis, hierarchical modeling, and machine learning techniques applied to biomedical data. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the theoretical underpinnings of these methods as well as their practical implementation using statistical software. Credits 3

This seminar course is designed to enhance students' understanding of current research trends in biomedical science and to develop their skills in critically evaluating scientific literature. Through weekly journal reviews, students will explore a variety of topics within veterinary biomedical science. Students will also develop and present a research plan related to their own area of interest within biomedical science. This presentation will provide students with the opportunity to showcase their research ideas, receive constructive feedback from peers and faculty, and refine their research proposals. Credits 1
