PSYR 6002

This course will cover aspects of psychiatric research methods and design. It will touch on aspects of research methodology that are common to most forms of medical research, but focus on those that are specific to research on psychiatry and mental disorders. The format of each class will involve a combination of faculty didactic lectures and student-led presentations or hands-on applications of the topic (e.g., during the neuroimaging class, students will participate in a hands-on imaging session at BIOTIC). Students will complete the course by presenting their thesis proposal (or equivalent see below) to the class.
