Outline for Advanced Renal physiology Course for 2nd year IDP students.

This will be a 2 credit hour course, with ~6 contact h/ week for a 5 week period.

Time 1-3 pm, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, unless otherwise indicated. In the Physiology Conference Room. M 559, or otherwise as agreed with Instructor. DATE/TIME is highly flexible.

The goal of this advanced course is to expose graduate students in depth to certain areas of renal physiology and pathophysiology. The majority of the course should be centered on discussion of original papers with the student(s) taking the lead in paper presentation and discussion.

A numerical grade will be given at the end of the module and will represent an average between the grades of all faculty.

Students will be graded at 60% participation/discussion during class and 40% on a take home exam, given at the end of the course.
