Health Science Research (HSR) is an introduction to the principles of research, directed at helping students understand and use research to contribute to improving the health of people and populations, including First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples, in Canada and globally. The HSR component of the MD Program at the University of Toronto is a two-year component of the Foundations Curriculum.
The three major foci are to develop students’ understanding of qualitative and quantitative methodologies and techniques; to help them appreciate translational research; and to facilitate their understanding and application of critical appraisal criteria to clinical practice.
The HSR component of the Foundations Curriculum consists of HSR Year 1 and HSR Year 2. We are specifically looking for tutors for HSR Year 2. The major teaching modalities employed in HSR Year 2 are:
E-modules and Self-Study Time :
The e-modules are designed to provide a foundation in the principles and application of research. The key information and core knowledge presented in the e- modules are designed to help the student develop their practicum exercise. Tutorial Sessions:
These small group sessions are Academy based and provide opportunities for students to discuss and apply (through structured tutorial activities) HSR material in a small group format. Practicum Exercise:
The practicum exercise is a longitudinal exercise that allows the student to apply the core research knowledge they learn in the HSR component. This exercise is intended to address a component of the health research translational pathway from one of the four Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) pillars by developing a research protocol aimed to answer a specific research question.
Those students with previous research experience are encouraged to engage in a practicum exercise that is from a new and different CIHR pillar, to enhance and broaden their research skills. However, if the student has ongoing research involvement, they can follow their research interest for their practicum exercise as long as it is “new” research (i.e. they cannot use previous research for the development of their practicum exercise protocol).
Under the general direction of the HSR Director, the HSR Faculty Tutor will be involved in facilitating 7, 2-hour sessions with a group of 8
-10 second-year students , directed at helping students understand and use research to contribute to improving the health of patients and populations, and mentoring practicum exercises.
