Description: UNIV 003 IS A PLACEHOLDER FOR UNIV 330: Medical Exploration and Observership. To register for UNIV 330, you must add UNIV 003 to your schedule. Prior to the beginning of the semester, you will be required to register for UNIV 330 and drop UNIV 003 from your schedule if you are selected to enroll. This should be done through ESTHER. NOTE: Space is limited and registration for UNIV 003 does not guarantee a seat in UNIV 330. Instructor Permission Required. The UNIV 330 course is designed for currently enrolled undergraduate students to gain exposure to the medical setting and develop professional skills, while earning course credit. The purpose is to allow you to explore careers in the health professions through exposure to medical shadowing and the healthcare industry. Normally this course includes an observership with physicians at Houston Methodist Hospital but given the COVID-19 pandemic, this portion has temporarily been removed for the Spring 2021 semester. However, this portion of the course has been replaced with additional expert guest lectures, case studies, informational interviews, and simulation exercises to provide as much exposure to the medical field, as permitted given these times.
