PAED 567 Reading Course in Pediatric Sciences
(Either term) - A reading course designed for in-depth, individual study of a specific topic on pediatric medicine related to the student's M.Sc. or PhD Program in the Department of Pediatrics. As this is an individual study course, you will need to develop a course outline with a course supervisor which must be approved by the graduate studies program director prior to being registered in the course. The final paper in the course must be reviewed and graded by two faculty members, one of whom is directing the course. Contact the Pediatric Graduate Studies Office to obtain a sample outline template.
Prerequisite or Corequisites: No pre or corequisites. Normally restricted to graduate students in pediatrics.
Please Note: PAED 567 is an independent study course and is NOT available to students as a course to fulfill the mandatory pediatric course requirement. Students who choose to take PAED 567 will still be required to take one of the two mandatory pediatric courses.
As of September 2012 it is mandatory for graduate students in the Department of Pediatrics to complete at least one of three pediatric courses available through the department as a requirement for completion of their degree.
As of September 5, 2017 it is mandatory for new graduate students in the Department of Pediatrics to complete PAED 600: Critical Discussions of Biomedical and Clinical Research.
If you have any questions regarding courses not on this list, please contact the graduate studies coordinator or the chair of the Medical Sciences Graduate Program Committee.
