Open/self-enrollment runs through the tenth day of the Fall and Spring semesters. Please refer to the Graduate School Academic Calendar, pg. 2 of this publication, for specific dates. 3. After the tenth day of class, all enrollment adjustments require the student to complete a Schedule Revision Request form and return to the UConn Health Registrar s Office for processing. Adding a Course: After the beginning of a semester, adding a course is at the instructor s discretion. After the fourth week of the semester, permission of the Associate Dean for the Graduate School is also required. Dropping a Course: Any course dropped after the tenth day will be reflected on a student s transcript with a W grade for withdrawal. Dropping a class after the ninth week (November 02), requires written consent of both the advisor and the Associate Dean. Cancellation of course registration will not automatically drop a course from a plan of study. 5) Auditing a Course: A student may be permitted to register to audit a course under the following conditions: An audit card is obtained, completed, and submitted to the Registrar s Office, AM039. Regular fees for courses are paid (no fees for degree students registered for 9 or more credits) Courses audited will appear on the permanent record. The privileges of an auditor are limited. The auditor is not eligible to receive grades on any part of the course. F) General Billing Information 1) Payment is due by the first day of the semester. Failure to receive a bill does not relieve a student of responsibility for payment of fees by the specified due date. A student who fails to make payment on time of any outstanding bill may be barred from all privileges. Additionally, any pending University of Connecticut employment authorization may not receive approval or may be subject to cancellation. For registration completed after the first day of the semester, payment is due at the time of registration. 2) Refund Policy: Prior to the first day of the semester, a signed schedule revision card dropping ALL courses for which the student is registered must be filed with the Registrar s Office in order to be eligible for a full refund/cancellation of charges (less non-refundable fees). **No Refunds Will Be Issued For Dropping Any Class While Enrolled In Other Classes** Once classes begin, the refund is prorated; please refer to the University of Connecticut refund policy located at http://www.bursar.uconn.edu/cancel_policy_g.html 3) Tuition Deferment: Students awarded financial aid may defer their tuition payments while awaiting the disbursement of their financial aid funds. A promissory note must be signed before the first day of the semester to enact this deferment. 5

MEDS 6497-F42 Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology Journal Club (1cr.) (Class#13747) This is a journal club devoted to the area of skeletal and craniofacial biology in development, disease, and regenerative medicine. This class is open to any graduate student, and is a required course for students in the Skeletal, Craniofacial and Oral Biology concentration. Weekly presentations are given of either a current literature paper, or for more advanced students, the student s own graduate research. The class is attended by interested faculty, postdoctoral fellows and staff. Following the presentation and questions, the student is given the opportunity to hear specific comments regarding areas of strengths and areas for potential improvement from the faculty. This course provides an opportunity for a student to develop skills in assimilating and presenting current literature, or their own work, in a seminar setting, and to friendly critical input from faculty and colleagues. Research presentations from SCOB faculty and postdoctoral fellows are also incorporated into the Journal Club schedule when possible. This provides an opportunity for participants to become aware of the types of research ongoing within the Skeletal, Craniofacial, and Oral Biology program, and facilitates interactions among individuals in various research programs. Suggested topic areas for SCOB Journal Club are: cartilage and bone biology; skeletal tissue regeneration; limb and craniofacial development; growth factors and signaling in skeletal tissue; oralskeletal genetics and disease; biomaterials in skeletal tissue repair.

(Class#13748) The Immunology Journal Club represents weekly sessions that are an important part of the Immunology Training Program. Students, in consultation and with guidance from faculties and the Director of the IJC, select a current research article that has made a significant contribution to the field, and present appropriate background related to the paper, introduction, methods, experimental results (the figures included in the article itself) and discussion. The articles selected by the students have to be approved by the course director. The student leads the discussion of the paper and receives feedback from the faculty, students and post docs that attend the journal club. The integral part of the presentation is to highlight overall significance of the paper for basic science and give clinical and translational relevance, indicate strengths and weaknesses and give a prospective to the field. Presentations are evaluated by two faculty and two student referees who provide presenters with written evaluation forms that reflect strengths and weaknesses and suggestions to improve. The journal club offers a valuable opportunity for the students to learn about the state of the current research and provides an invaluable setting for the exchange of scientific ideas.

(Class#15640) After decades of being stuck with dysfunctional healthcare payment and delivery situations and associated deteriorating health outcomes, the US is now finally seeing the beginnings of experimentation, stimulated in part by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), with different ways of paying for and incentivizing different and hopefully more efficient and effective healthcare delivery approaches. It is an exciting time for US healthcare and health. In PUBH 5497-F4, students will explore different ways to incentivize and deliver improved access to safer, higher quality and less costly healthcare and health for all Americans. They will learn what is wrong with the current ways in which healthcare is financed and delivered in the US the extent, causes and implications of the problems with healthcare financing and delivery approaches in the US. We will carry out this analysis in the context of the evolving healthcare insurance/payment situation in the US as the ACA continues to be implemented and challenged. Students then will learn what are the strengths and weaknesses of the main paradigms for improving healthcare delivery in the US. As their major course project, students will develop their own approach for improving an aspect of health care delivery and health outcomes for Americans and will analyze the role private, local, state and federal policies and programs, newly empowered individuals and health information technologies will play in their approach.

Instructor: George Reigeluth 860-794-4136 greigeluth@aol.com Date & Time: 9/3/15 12/9/15, Wednesdays 6:00 PM 9:00 PM Farmington, Room C, Main Floor PUBH 5497-F45 Study Design and Data Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (3 cr.) (Class#15641) Epidemiology is the study of disease in populations. Epidemiological research often seeks to identify if there is a causal relationship between a risk factor and a disease. To establish causality, the first step is to establish association. In some cases, a finding may be in fact due to a third factor (confounding) and the third factor may modify the effect on the disease outcome (interaction). To rule out false positive and correctly estimate the effect size, confounding and interaction must be considered in design or in analysis. Among the study designs, two main classes are observational studies and interventional studies (clinical trials). This course will be focused on observational studies particularly cohort and case-control studies. It is decidedly applied on the basis of statistical theories and will require using SAS substantially. Topics in this course will include: Concepts in Epidemiology, Basic, statistics for exploratory data analysis, Study designs, Risk assessment, Approaches to handling confounding, factors: stratified analysis, regression modelling, matched data analysis, Sample size calculation, Meta analysis, Diagnosis test evaluation, and Resampling methods.
