LMP2301Y: Projects in Translational Research

This course is intended to provide you with the necessary tools and skills to identify, develop, and execute a translational research project. The class is structured following an experiential learning approach guided by the Translational Thinking Framework that helps you to sample necessary skills and apply your understanding to a real-world community partner project with a healthcare provider. In this course, you will learn about methods of Translational Thinking and Human Centred Design to explore a problem space and the people within that space, identifying real needs, system constraints and requirements, and ultimately design solutions that incorporate all those components, Designs are iterated from initial concepts by gathering feedback and evaluating prototypes with partners input throughout the course. The course project culminates with the development of an intervention that addresses the identified problem. Final project presentations for the partner stakeholders will take place at the end of the course. This course is designed to provide you with the foundations necessary for understanding and applying the Translational Thinking Framework and Human-Centred Design to medical problems.
