CREDIT HOURS: 3
This is the first half of an outside-the-classroom learning experience in which the student works on a research project relevant to medical sciences under the direction of a supervisor. Suitable work environments may be located at any Dalhousie-affiliated site. Supervisors may be in any department/Faculty.
NOTES: Open only to students in the Bachelor of Science Medical Sciences Program. To register for this class, a student must find a supervisor willing to supervise the work experience. The student and supervisor must sign a learning agreement that has been approved by the course coordinator. This course must be taken in the same academic year as SCIE 4102.03 and no credit can be given for one course without the other. Grades will not be assigned for SCIE 4101.03 until SCIE 4102.03 has also been completed.
