SOMGEN 140Q: The Beginning: the Brain, the Womb, and the Elusive Definition of Life

Can we pinpoint the precise moment that a human life begins? If so, what do we do with that information? Together we will chart the path between conception and birth with particular focus on the fetal brain and the placental interface. What can biology tell us and where are the gaps? In the absence of a definitive answer, what spiritual traditions, ethical frameworks, and reasoning might we rely on to orient us? Grounded in biology, we will survey a diverse spectrum of attitudes about personhood, fate, and personal responsibility that can be applied to urgent issues in reproductive rights.

SOMGEN 214: Intro to Specialty Career Selection: Exploring Residency Specialty Selection with Career Advisors

Are you intimidated by the number of specialty choices out there? Do you want to feel more confident when answering the dreaded question, "What kind of doctor do you want to be?" The School of Medicine Center for Specialty Career Advising is offering a 2-quarter seminar series highlighting the different specialty career choices offered for your residency training. We recognize that undergraduates and medical students may have a general idea of what field of medicine they might be interested in pursuing, but often aren't exposed to the vast number of choices until later in their clinical years. This series will feature 20 different and popular specialties. Each week, we will highlight a different specialty through a seminar led by the Specialty Career Advisor (SCA) in that field of medicine. Each SCA is carefully selected as an expert and mentor in that field and will provide you with an overview of what to expect should you choose that specialty. Each overview will also provide a next steps framework to learn more about the field with ample time for Q&A. There is no better time to start exploring than now! This series is a Pass-Fail attendance only course.
