A typical week at Molecular Medicine course Study materials are available at Moodle in the folder Week topics

Working with Team Based Learning - TBL • The students are provided with a study guide so that they will come prepared to the first meeting • Perform a readiness assurance test (RAT) individually as well as in teams • Make the students apply their knowledge in problem solving, hypothesis setting, testing or other authentic skills • RATs and applications are obligatory!

Learning outcomes – Knowledge and understanding On completion of the course, the students shall be able to: • account for known and hypothetical pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms underlying diseases including examples from infection medicine, internal medicine, oncology and neurology, and how these hypotheses can be used to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic methods • use knowledge in biochemistry, cell biology and physiology to explain medical problems • explain the role of peer review in the system of research funding

Learning outcomes – Competence and skills On completion of the course, the students shall be able to: • synthesize information from subject-specific original and survey articles and place it in the relevant medical context • present and discuss scientific issues and proposed solutions • formulate and evaluate hypotheses concerning problems and issues of molecular medicine • design research programs in accordance with given instructions and deadlines • provide and use constructive written peer review feedback on the form and content of research programs, and judge the quality, relevance and feasibility of research programs

Learning outcomes – Judgement and approach On completion of the course, the students shall be able to: • assess and critically review the contents of original research articles • adopting a procedure similar to the one used in research funding assessment panels, assess, prioritize and subsequently, in groups, rank research programs • reflect on the ethical and social impact of the knowledge and applications of molecular medicine
