CHEM 221: Advanced Organic Chemistry I
From molecular medicine to molecular anthropology and all sciences in between, Chemistry in particular and molecular science in general are driven by one's understanding of structure and how structure relates to properties, reactivities (mechanisms) and activities and by ones ability to make molecules. This course integrates the mechanistic and structural foundations of organic chemistry with an emphasis on reactive intermediates and reaction mechanisms, strategies for the design and synthesis of complex molecules and concepts for innovative problem solving. An additional emphasis is placed on generating ideas and proposals directed at identifying and solving problems in science as required for a career in molecular science.

CHINA 272: Science and History of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ASNAMST 272, MED 272)
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a unique system for the diagnosis and treatment of disease, as well as for the cultivation of life-long health and well-being. This course introduces basic TCM theories, practices, and treatment methods including acupuncture, Taichi, and herbal medicine. We will introduce historical figures and events in the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine and East-West integrative health. Drawing on science, cultural history, and philosophy, this interdisciplinary approach will help us to understand Traditional Chinese Medicine in its intellectual, social, and cultural context. We will discuss the scientific exploration of TCM and how modern science shapes our understanding of East-West integrative health.

CHPR 205: Understanding Evidence-Based Medicine: Hands-on experience (EPI 250, MED 250)
How can one practice evidence-based medicine and make evidence-based decisions for clinical practice and policy making? Using pivotal papers published in the recent scientific literature addressing important clinical questions on diverse medical topics, we will probe a wide range of types of studies, types of targeted therapeutic or preventive interventions, and types of studied outcomes (effectiveness and/or safety), including RCTs, observational studies, epidemiologic surveillance studies, systematic reviews-umbrella reviews-meta-analyses-meta-analyses of individual patient data, studies on the evaluation of diagnostic tests and prognostic models, economic analyses studies, and guidelines. MD studies enroll for +/-. GR students enroll for Letter grade.

CHPR 206: Meta-research: Appraising Research Findings, Bias, and Meta-analysis (EPI 206, MED 206, STATS 211)
Open to graduate, medical, and undergraduate students. Appraisal of the quality and credibility of research findings; evaluation of sources of bias. Meta-analysis as a quantitative (statistical) method for combining results of independent studies. Examples from medicine, epidemiology, genomics, ecology, social/behavioral sciences, education. Collaborative analyses. Project involving generation of a meta-research project or reworking and evaluation of an existing published meta-analysis. Prerequisite: knowledge of basic statistics.

CHPR 230: Sexual Function and Diversity in Medical Disciplines (FEMGEN 230A)
Focus is on development of personal and professional skills to interact with people across the diverse range of human sexuality, from childhood (pediatric) to older ages (geriatric), with consideration of gender identity, sexual orientation, sociocultural (predominantly U.S., not global) and religious values, and selected medical issues (e.g. hormonal therapy, disabilities, e.g. spinal cord injury, etc. with discussion of sexual taboos and unusual sexual practices that you might encounter in a general medical setting. CHPR master's program students must enroll in
CHPR 230 for a letter grade and priority for enrollment will be given to current CHPR students. For fourth unit, students must also attend
INDE 215 Queer Health & Medicine and complete assignments for that section, but do not enroll in that class. For WAYs, undergrads enroll in
