Course Description:

With the goal of improving health care outcomes, this course will examine the relationship between scientists and clinicians as they partner to develop medical innovations and best practice for health delivery.  Translational Science can impact the design of a medical facility as well as traditional research space.  This course will examine research “think tank” facilities and discuss design ideas for creating hybrid of research and clinical spaces to facilitate this collaborative research.
