TRANSMED: The Master's Degree Programme in Translational Medicine. The goal of TRANSMED is to train students coming from multiple disciplines to pursue successful careers in research and application of translational medicine. From the students the interdisciplinary nature of TRANSMED requires dedication and good study skills. The core of the 2-year, full time Master's programme consists of medical sciences, up-to-date methodology, interdisciplinary communication skills and practical training in research groups. Clinical rounds with a specialist physician mentor at the Helsinki University Hospital will permit the students to directly encounter the practice of medicine, from the viewpoint of a physician and a patient. |

BMSc Graduate Photos/Composites |
October 9 |
Hello Year 4 BMSc Students (and BSc students in Physiology & Psychology and Medical Biophysics); Each year the BMSUE office coordinates the production of the graduate composites for students in the different BMSc (and BSc) Honors Specialization (HSP) modules offered by the basic medical science departments and BMSc Honors Double Majors. Photos are taken by Lifetouch Photography at UCC. A graduate photo sitting costs $25 and includes 12-15 proofs in regalia or casual attire. If you would like to be included on the composite you need to indicate this to Lifetouch at the time of your sitting by giving them the composite code number assigned to your module (see below). No purchase (besides the seating fee) is required to be included in the composite. As mMany of our modules only have 10-20 students, the idea of the composite should be promoted within your module as the composite should be a fair representation of enrolment. Lifetouch has indicated that they will not produce a composite if representation is poor. To be included in a composite, your graduation photo must be taken before Spring break in February 2013. It may seem like a long way off, but I suggest that you act soon as there are 4000 other students graduating next spring who may also like a graduation photo. The Lifetouch website and access to the online booking process can be found at: http://www.lifetouch.ca/western. Your module is listed in the drop down boxes under "Select Faculty"...it may not be quite right but try to identify with something that is close to the name of your module. I will try to get this listing updated. Lifetouch has reserved the week of October 31- November 7 for BMSc students but you can book a date outside of this week if you are not available.

Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) |
October 5 |
Subject: Funding your Graduate Studies Next Year with an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) The Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS) program has undergone a significant operational change. Each university is now responsible for the administration of their own school-wide competition. Students must now apply directly to the university they plan to attend the following year. Students planning to attend another Ontario university next year are advised to contact the graduate program to which they are applying in order to learn about the OGS procedure at that institution. Western’s OGS application which will be released November 1, 2012 and will close February 1, 2013. All continuing graduate students and all students applying to Western’s OGS-eligible graduate programs will be reminded by email how to apply upon release. Review and adjudication of applications will take place in February and March with results available in April. The School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies will notify each applicant individually of the outcome of their application at that time. For up-to-date information on the OGS application and all other funding opportunities available to graduate students please visit: http://grad.uwo.ca/current_students/student_finances/funding_opportunities.html |

Physiology 4???b – Digestion and Metabolism Starting in January 2013 This course will explore, in depth, the concepts of gastrointestinal secretion, motility, digestion, and absorption, including hepatic and pancreatic physiology. Specific areas covered will include: gut-brain-liver axis and nutrient metabolism, pancreatic exocrine and endocrine physiology, liver and lipid metabolism. All areas will be discussed with particular attention to relevant pathologies and disease states, including obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Current therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these metabolic disorders will also be presented. The course will be presented as a series of lectures on selected topics by two or three faculty members, with two scheduled lectures reserved for student critical evaluation of related scientific literature. Students will be expected to recall facts, recognize general concepts, understand and explain fundamental concepts, and synthesize information presented in lectures to solve problems. Students will be evaluated through in-class quizzes, a written critique, a mid-term and a final exam. Lectures: Date & Room TBA Prerequisite(s): Physiology 3120 |
