Instructional Method: Online. Biotechnology (1) Recent advances in the study of genome function reveal the fluidity and flexibility of the information encoded in our DNA. Gene structure, gene positioning within chromosomes, non-coding DNA sequences and the chemical structure of the nucleotides are all factors in how genetics impact our daily lives and development. Biotechnology is the collection of tools scientists use to manipulate and modify genomes for use in pharmaceuticals, medicine, agriculture and the criminal justice system. Techniques including polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, and molecular cloning allows us to isolate and characterize portions of DNA, so we may ultimately create new DNA sequences, new proteins and even entirely synthetic organisms. Students in this course obtain and analyze a variable gene (CDK) from their classmates using PCR and DNA sequencing. A course database of CDK gene sequences are organized and analyzed with tools and methods designed by each student based on their own hypotheses and experimental design. This project provides first-hand experience in the biotechnology fields of genomics and proteomics.

Instructional Method: Hybrid. Healthcare Technology in Unsure Times (3) This course provides a high-level introduction into healthcare information technology (HIT). This course covers the complexity of the US healthcare ecosystem, the use of information technology in healthcare, and introduces the field of healthcare technology consulting. The course outlines a basic understanding of how healthcare is delivered, the role of technology in the delivery of care, and the complexity of developing an effective HIT strategy. Meets with PSM-696 001 and BIO-696 001.
