| Description |
Introduces medical,
graduate and undergraduate students with engineering and other
backgrounds to various digestive diseases including cancer,
inflammatory bowel disease, peptic ulcer disease, hepatitis
and its sequela, reflux and motility disorders, pancreatitis,
and transplantation. Lectures provide a brief background regarding
these diseases, highlight areas of limited understanding, and
emphasize emerging and new technologies and their impact including
endoscopic and genomic, clinical research design, and transplantation
technology, among other timely topics. The course also familiarizes
its enrollees with Stanford-based research experiences related
to digestive disease. This includes a broad range of research
projects that are ongoing in the Division of Gastroenterology
and Hepatology and in the School of Medicine, inter-departmental
Digestive Disease Research Center. Attendance and participation
are the only components for evaluation. Detailed syllabus of
reading material is provided. No final examination, but course
sign-up is required. |
