The modules Research Topics in Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research [MD978] and Laboratory Project 1 [MD979] are a pre-requisite for this module.
Students will undertake two laboratory projects in two different disciplines. In most cases, this will be a biology-focused project and one in either chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering or computer science. If you are a student on the Quantitative Imaging programme, your projects should focus on imaging and image analysis. Projects can be undertaken in WMS or a department within the Faculty of Science at Warwick.
Students are encouraged to develop a project proposal together with a member of staff from the supervisor pool (www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/med/study/mrcdtp/supervisorsandprojects/). In addition, the supervisor pool will be invited to submit potential projects for consideration by the IBR DTP management committee. Projects will be reviewed for fit to the scientific brief and will be then offered to the students. The final choice of project will be made by the student in consultation with the MSc Director.
This short course is designed to develop the skills required to manage patients with a range of chronic diseases such as diabetes, dementia, musculoskeletal conditions, depression and mental illness, and end of life care within primary care.
The course will introduce you to the knowledge and skills that are needed for the delivery and organisation of high quality care, responsive to the physical, emotional, psychological and social needs of people with chronic conditions within the multidisciplinary setting.
