MB ChB Phase 3 spans year 3 AND 4.

2017 Cohort are supported through year 4 via the MD30X-19/20 module Moodle space.

The two laboratory mini-projects conclude your MSc year and prepare you for your PhD projects. MD979 is the first one. Due to the highly inter-disciplinary nature of the IBR DTP, you have a great variety of choice for these projects. You will have an 11-week period for each of the two mini-project modules (MD979 and the subsequent MD980). Normally there would be one experimental biology project and one either theoretical biology project (e.g., bioinformatics, computational biology) or experimental project in chemistry, physics or engineering. The supervisor pool is accordingly expanded to include colleagues across the departments of the Faculty of Science in addition to WMS.

The projects will either be developed by the you together with an academic from the supervisor pool, or initially by the supervisors alone, who will submit projects directly to the mini-project call for presentation to the student cohort at a mini-project “fair”. You should be aware that all projects will first be vetted in the IBR DTP management team before inclusion in the course.

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.

The course will provide a sound foundation and understanding of economic concepts and their relevance to decisions around the allocation of healthcare resources, allowing you to critically appraise health economics studies and work effectively with health economists in your team.  It will provide you with a toolkit of methods useful for research and healthcare management.

The Physical Biology of the Cell module is a core module of the MSc IBR, which underpins the MRC-funded IBR DTP.

The module aims to provide a physical sciences perspective to cellular biology and equip postgraduate students to begin a research career at the interface of biology and physics.

You will explore the basic physical concepts underlying the behaviour of biomolecules, dynamic cell processes, cellular structure and signalling events. You will learn how to estimate sizes, speed and energy requirements for a variety of biological processes and build simple explicit models to fit experimental data from cell biological experiments.

PBoC is about learning to ask and answer quantitative scientific questions in the realm of biophysical cell biology.

It is arguably possible to sask scientific questions that are not quantitative*, but in general, useful scientific ideas make quantitative predictions that can be tested by observation and experiment. And arguably again, the most powerful scientific ideas are those that make the firmest quantitative predictions, and can thereby be definitively disproved.

Our goal with this course is to equip you with a basic set of tools to think quantitatively about the biological world, design better (more incisive) experiments, and analyse and interpret your data in useful and formally correct ways.

On completing the module, you should be able to analyse and quantify physical biological properties and behaviours of living systems; formulate scientific questions by harnessing the core concepts of physical biology and design experiments that effectively address your scientific questions.

PBoC is designed to help you to think!  Your instructors will aim to make the material challenging, but accessible, and above all, interesting.

Cohort A01 (November 2016)

The aim of the material being taught during this module is to help you to gain a better understanding of research and critical appraisal. As such, this module will help prepare you for other modules, and
also increase your ability to use research as part of your clinical or research / management role.  While the material may sometimes be challenging, it is appropriate for a Masters level module, which aims to help students think deeply and develop their critical skills.  The course includes a large practical component in which you will have the opportunity to practice the new skills that you have been taught, and to undertake some of the tasks necessary for the course assignment.  

Dear All,

Welcome to Qualitative Research Methods in Health. 

This module aims to provide you with a) a critical perspective on the contribution of qualitative research methods to understanding and improving health and b) an introduction to qualitative research methods and their application in health related research.

Aims

Develop knowledge and understanding of qualitative methods as used in health related research and develop your skills in the use of these methods. Gain the capability to use these research methods appropriately for undertaking research and evaluation both as part of postgraduate study and in your working environment.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module you should be able to:
 Demonstrate a critical understanding of the origins and usage of qualitative research methods in relation to health.
 Demonstrate how to develop a research question and use appropriate qualitative and methods to answer it.
 Demonstrate an understanding of the range of research methods and when and how they should be used.
 Demonstrate a critical understanding of the use of qualitative methods in relation to other widely used research methods in health care.

Here and in the module guide, you will find the pre-course preparation task. We strongly encourage you to undertake the preparatory work, especially if you are new to qualitative research methods.
We look forward to meeting you.

Module Co-leads

This course focuses on the development of analysis and integration strategies for mixed methods researchers. It follows on from the Mixed Methods Design course by introducing students to a range of mixed methods analysis approaches and techniques through seminar style presentations, hands on workshops and tutorials where students can work on their own mixed methods projects.

This course outlines Moodle's features by providing examples of activities and resources.

This course is used for demoing quizzes in student view.
