At the end of this course, the student should be able to:
- recognize the importance of using experimental models in biomedical research
- Identify distinct experimental models used in biomedical research
- enumerate advantages and disadvantagens of distinct experimental models
- select different types of experimental models based on the specific purpose of each research project
- prepare a study design proposing the best experimental model in the contexto of a specific scientific research question.Presentation of UC , The scientific method and the experimental model - 1 (T)
