Description: Students will work through a series of patient cases that present foundational oncology concepts for graduate bioengineering and biomedical science students interested in cancer-related translational research. The class will use collaborative problem-based learning to evaluate risk factors, epidemiology, prevention, screening and detection, clinical signs and symptoms, staging and grading, management, and clinical trials for a variety of cancers. Emerging research findings and their clinical and engineering applications will be emphasized. Students will review and collaboratively discuss each case, decide on relevant learning issues, gather information, present findings for further review and discussion, and submit a case-specific written assignment. Using the same model, each student will then develop and lead his/her own patient case for class study. Required: Admission to Med Into Grad Program.
