Justification: LABMP 593 Course title correction. LABMP 900 Course description removes references to who supervises/advises for the project. The term “scientific” has been replaced with “investigative” to be more inclusive as to the diverse nature of research conducted in the realm of this discipline. Enrolment is restricted to students in the Pathologists’ Assistant program. Approved by: FoMD Faculty Learning Committee (FLC) – July 3, 2019 FoMD Faculty Council – July 22, 2019

Proposed University Calendar Changes for 2020/2021 Department of Biochemistry Rationale The Department of Biochemistry wishes to offer a 400-level course which builds on the foundational understanding of human metabolic pathways that is developed in BIOCH 310. This course is intended for implementation in 2020-2021.

CURRENT PROPOSED

NEW COURSE

BIOCH 415 Metabolic Modifications in Health and Disease *3 (fi 6) (either term, 2-1s-0) This course introduces students to adaptive and pathological changes in human metabolic pathways. The course will cover various situations which alter the ‘normal’ function of the metabolic pathways, such as lifestyle modifications (e.g. exercise, diet), starvation, cancer, diabetes, aging and neurodegenerative disorders, immune diseases, and mitochondrial diseases. Prerequisite(s): BIOCH 310 with a minimum grade of B-, or consent of the Department.

Proposed University Calendar Changes for 2020/2021

Calendar Changes for the Certificate in Biomedical Research

Rationale: The Certificate has been offered for four years now and a few necessary updates to the Calendar description have been identified by the Biomedical Sciences Undergraduate Education Committee. The changes proposed here are:

1) The lists of courses for senior laboratory skills, current biomedical research literature, and directed research project(s) have been updated.

2) A note has been added to clarify that the minimum course requirement for the Certificate is always *18, but that in some circumstances *3 of the requirement for directed-research projects may be met by equivalent, non-credit, undergraduate research experiences, such as summer studentships.

Current Proposed

Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry - Programs

The Certificate in Biomedical Research is offered by the Departments of Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Pharmacology, and Physiology. Students who pursue the certificate will be engaged in world-class biomedical research programs and will acquire a broad range of research skills through substantive laboratory course and independent research project experiences.

Students wishing to pursue the Certificate in Biomedical Research must discuss their program of study both with their own program advisor and, where different, a program advisor in one of the Departments of Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Pharmacology or Physiology. Completion of the certificate must be recorded with the Biomedical Sciences Undergraduate Education Committee at least one week prior to the application deadline for convocation (see Academic Schedule).

CURRENT PROPOSED NEW COURSE INT D 605 - Interdisciplinary research experience

in basic biomedical and clinical settings. *3 (fi 6) (either, 0-3-0) An interdisciplinary course for graduate students who are enrolled in the MatCH Scholarship Program to gain experience in quantitative or qualitative biomedical and clinical research settings. The course will involve three rotations, of 4 to 6 weeks each, in different laboratory settings within the Departments of Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology or Medical Genetics. Students will also attend the general seminar series of each De12artment once 12er month, a total of three 12er month. Students will be graded (CR/NC) based on participation and written assignments based on each rotation. Enrollment must be approved by course coordinators.

Rationale: As part of the Maternal and Child Health Scholarship program students undertake rotation in three different research groups located within the Departments of Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology or Medical Genetics in order to identify their potential supervisor for their graduate program. The basis of the rotations is to allow the student to clearly identify their area of research interest and their potential supervisor. This will also provide students with increased exposure to different research approaches which will build their knowledge base and understanding of different approaches to research which they will then use within their own graduate program. This course will ensure that the student will participate fully in this process.

Rational:

MLS curriculum renewal looked at content and sequencing of curriculum. The philosophical approach was to deliver the didactic information the students need for the national certification examination in year 2. Year 3 is the clinical practicum meant to practice the techniques and skill learned in year 2. Year 4 is an advanced year; all information that is “value added or applicable more to the BSc “.

Currently MLSCI 242 is fall and MLSCI 243 is winter term. Most of the content of MLSCI 243 is not relevant to the national certification exam so 243 will no longer be offered in year 2. A new course MLSCI 440 is under development and will cover some of the 243 content to be delivered in the final year of the program. The timing of this content makes more sense in the final year of the MLS program.

MSLCI 242 credit load is increased and offered as a variable term as some of the content from 243 needs to be delivered in this year of the program. It will be offered over 15 weeks (final 2 weeks of term in fall and all of winter). Credit load was determined using a standard 3 (3-0-3) credit science lab course as a benchmark.

MLSCI 230 and 235 are being combined into one coursed. In the mid 1990’s a large 6 credit full year course was dismantled into separate 3 (230),2 (270),and 1 (235) credit courses; this decision was to fit in a university term but doesn’t fit the content of the courses. The topics of hemostasis (235) and hematology (230) go together and are delivered together in MLSCI 330 and MLSCI 430. The clinical laboratory does not differentiate these 2 areas as separate (hemostasis is –part of hematology). Credit load as adjusted to reflect 3-0-6 over 17 weeks of instruction). Credit load of MLSCI 270 increasing from 2 to 3 to reflect the instructional time.

MLSCI 210 and MLSCI 280 – new courses for the MLS curriculum. Other changes to course determined by sequencing of curriculum to teach national professional competencies required of medical laboratory technologists.

CURRENT PROPOSED MMI 526 - Medical Parasitology

★ 3 (fi 6) (first term, 3-0-3) A survey of the protozoan and metazoan diseases of man. Emphasis will be placed on biology, epidemiology, clinical presentation and methods for detection and identification as well as global impact of parasitic diseases in today’s world. Lectures and laboratories are the same as MMI 426, but there will be an additional requirement for a written literature review/discussion paper on recent developments or controversies in the field of parasitology. This course may not be taken for credit if credit has already been obtained in MMI 426. Consent of Department required.

COURSE DELETION

Rationale: This course is being removed as it ran parallel to the MMI 426 course, which has now had the laboratory component removed. MMI 526 has not had students enrolled in several years, so the Department feels it is no longer necessary to keep in the Calendar.

There has been a number of recent advancements in relevant research fields that have greatly expanded the fundamental knowledge base for these topics. The accumulated knowledge can no longer be covered in a single course and thus, we are requesting to expand into two courses. These updated courses will be able to provide undergraduate and graduate students invaluable training for professions within Neuroscience.
