SURG 52Q: Becoming whatever you want to be: lessons learned from a stem cell

Sophomore Preference. Stem cells are extreme: they are the most powerful cells in the body and yet they are unimaginably scarce; they exist in nearly every tissue but actually locating them is enormously challenging. Stem cells have the potential to transform the practice of medicine, while at the same time their potential application to human disease continues to spark political debates around the world. In this class, students will discuss the medical hype and hope that surrounds stem cells, socio-political implications surrounding their research, and general concerns with inequitable access to healthcare. While topics like tissue healing and regeneration will focus on the human body, participation from students whose fields of interest fall well outside human biology is welcome. Engineers, artists, historians, writers, economists--all will find intersections between the course subject matter and their own interests. Class sessions will be largely in-person however virtual access will be made available for students upon request on a case by case basis and primarily for medical needs.

SURG 68Q: Current Concepts in Transplantation

Preference to sophomores. Biological aspects of cell and organ transplantation, including issues that arise in the popular media. Diseases for which transplantation is a treatment, the state of the art in human transplantation, transplantation of animal tissue into humans (xenotransplantation), development of new tissue and organs in the laboratory (tissue engineering and cloning), and development of drugs and biological strategies to promote long-term survival of the tissue or organ (tolerance). How to write a scientific abstract, critique scientific literature, and research and present topics in contemporary transplantation.

SURG 80Q: Making an Impact in Global Health: Surgery, Innovation, and Business

Currently, 5 billion people around the world have no access to safe surgery. As a result, countless people in lower and middle income countries suffer unnecessarily from disability and disfigurement. In addition, the lack of anesthesia, medications, and health facilities in these countries leads to much more human suffering that could be addressed with safe and affordable surgery. In this seminar class, students will learn about the global need for medical care and surgery, as well as possible career opportunities in global health. The class format will be lecture-based, with ample time for discussion. Lectures on global surgery, global infectious disease, and careers in academics, government, and non-profit organizations will be presented. Guest lecturers will include experts in surgery, public health, venture capital, education, and business - both non-profit and for profit. Importantly, skills will be taught that will empower the student to be effective agents of change in this arena. These specific skills will include speaking in public, creating a business plan, and making a pitch to funders. Beyond the classroom, there will be optional opportunities to shadow doctors in the operating room. The final project will consist of researching a global health need, developing a sustainable project, and making an argument and business case for funding. As a result of this course, it is hoped that the students will understand there are many career paths that can be taken to have a meaningful career in Global Health.

SURG 100A: Virtual and Real: Human Anatomy and Sports Injuries of the Limbs and Torso

This undergraduate course is designed to teach human anatomy through cadaver specimens, radiographs, CT scans and MRIs with emphasis on the understanding of common sports injuries of the torso and limbs, and their related causes, relevant anatomy, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. The course divides the anatomy of the limbs and torso into five areas; each area will be presented in a two-week block. Students will develop an understanding of human anatomy through the identification of relevant structures on cadaver specimens and on apps such as Complete Anatomy and the 3D Anatomy Table, then utilizing this knowledge, in the interpretation of radiographs, CT scans and MRIs. Group projects and presentations focus on the understanding of the anatomy and treatment of these injuries, while aiding students in developing basic rhetorical skills and comfort in sharing their projects with the class. The class is limited to 20 students.
