PhD Programme in Health and Medicine

The PhD programme in Health and Medicine is a doctoral programme at the Faculty of Health Sciences. Health and Medicine describes a field of research which works to improve the medical services and thus public health.

Applicants with a academic background who have completed a five-year master degree (3+2)

Funding for projects must be secured before admission

Continous admission

The health problems we face today differ from earlier health challenges. Previously, bacterial infectious diseases  threatened people's health - today we have the HIV virus epidemic which is the largest public health problem in Africa. Today's health problems are to a greater extent linked to the individual's lifestyle and ability to safeguard their own health. We see significant health challenges in relation to chronic diseases, mental illness, substance abuse, cancer, diabetes, obesity, COPD, asthma and dementia.

It is therefore a need to integrate research in medicine and health with elements from several disciplines in order to gather knowledge about individual, structural, organizational and social phenomena. This requires both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research where methods from different fields, like social science, epidemiology and health services research, are relevant.

Our PhD programme in Health and Medicine is founded on a broad methodology to facilitate multi - disciplinary approaches to scientific research. This includes several disciplines: clinical and translational medicine, nursing, chiropractic, patient safety, and psychology. The programme will help to develop knowledge that enables patients and healthcare professionals to better meet tomorrow's health challenges. It is our aim to develop our PhD students' ability to conduct research that increases understanding of how factors at different levels and areas affect human health.

Neuroscience data integration through use of digital brain atlases (2 ects).

Dates : September 16th-17th 2024

Where : Kavli Institute of Systems Neuroscience, NTNU, Trondheim

With a new generation of three-dimensional digital reference atlases, new solutions for integrating and disseminating brain data are being developed. This course contains an introduction to currently available reference atlases for mouse and rat brain. It will demonstrate how the 3D brain templates for the reference atlases are acquired, how they are used as a basis for delineating the structures of the brain, how they can be enriched by other data modalities, and how they can be used as a basis for assigning location (coordinate based or semantic) to a wide range of structural and functional data collected from the brain. The course will also outline examples of data system employed to organize neuroscience data collections in the context of reference atlases as well as analytical workflows applied to the data, with opportunities for hands-on exploration of selected tools.

This course is offered by the University in Oslo but will in 2024 be held in Trondheim as a satellite event to the NRSN 2024 PhD conference , arranged at Jegtvolden Fjordhotell on September 18th-20th. NRSN members can apply for accomodation and travel support to attend the course.

NEVR8012 - Math for Biologists I: Linear Algebra (7.5 ECTS)

Many fields within the Biological Science are becoming increasingly quantitative and interdisciplinary. This poses the double challenge of having a good understanding of the biological aspects of the problem under study, as well as of the mathematics used to analyze the acquired data and to develop models for it. The goal of this course is to introduce biologists to basic concepts in Linear Algebra that they will encounter in most of the analysis techniques and models they will employ in their research. The course will smoothly introduce the language of mathematics, with the aim of easing interdisciplinary communication. Each class will be divided into a lecture and a practical session. 

The course will be held in the fall semester 2023 (mid August to end of October).

NRSN members from other universities must  register as an external candidate  at NTNU.

STKD6800 Neuro-insights: Data Science Approaches in Neuroscience I   (5 ECTS)

Stkd6810 neuro-insights: data science approaches in neuroscience ii  (10 ects).

Because most young researchers in life and health sciences do not have a solid quantitative background, they face difficulties when analyzing data independently. This difficulty represents a major drawback in research. Students waste time learning analytical methods by themselves that could be more quickly learned with proper instruction and support. Additionally, the lack of convention or standards in some fields is a source of confusion that slows the learning process. As consequence, the quality of insights and research productivity suffer. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to data science and big data applied to neuroscience research.

Its content is designed to train the participants in state-of-the-art techniques in data analysis and machine learning. This will enable the students to interact independently with the data and draw insights from them. The modules are organized so the participants have the opportunity to learn how to handle the most common data types (e.g., EEG, calcium imaging). Special attention is given to field-tested data management protocols, as they are critical for a fast transition from data acquisition to knowledge generation.

This is a hands-on course where the students will learn from implementing the analysis themselves with close supervision. The course will focus on case studies using data from real experiments; advanced students may choose to use their own data. The students will develop understanding through constant presentation of their work and dialectical reflection over their choices, results, and interpretations.

10th - 16th September

Imb9345 neuroscience data integration through use of digital brain atlases .

Anatomical reference atlases of the brain are important tools for assigning location to data captured with the many methods and instruments used to study the brain. With a new generation of three-dimensional digital reference atlases, new solutions for integrating and disseminating brain data are being developed. This course will provide a theoretical background and hands on experience with tools for integrating experimental data from rodent brains in reference atlas space. The development and use of novel 3D brain templates for rodent brains for assigning location to a wide range of structural and functional data will be demonstrated. The course will outline examples of data system employed to organize neuroscience data collections in the context of reference atlases as well as analytical workflows applied to the data.

Nursing education in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden - from Bachelor's degree to PhD

Affiliation.

• 1 Faculty of Health, Stord/Haugesund University College, Norway. [email protected]
• PMID: 20626496
• DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2648.2010.05331.x

Aim: This paper is a discussion of the similarities and differences in baccalaureate nursing education programme structures, content and pathways to postbaccalaureate education in the Scandinavian countries.

Background: For the last three decades nursing education internationally, as well as in the Scandinavian countries, has experienced ongoing reforms. The driving forces behind these reforms have been efforts for professional development within nursing and to harmonize higher education in several European countries.

Data sources: The data were collected by a critical review of the guiding principles, national directives and educational structures and content of Bachelor's degree programmes from 1990 to 2008 and of further educational levels in the four Scandinavian countries.

Discussion: There are similarities as well as substantial differences in the educational structures, contents and lengths in the different nursing programmes. Nursing education is organized in the three cycles described in the Bologna Process, but there are differences regarding names and terms for degrees and allocation of European Credit Transfer System credits.

Implications for nursing: Policymakers need to consider more carefully the directives in the Bologna Declaration when planning and implementing nursing programmes at Bachelor's and postgraduate levels. Knowledge of the content and structure of nursing education in these countries may enhance development and cooperation between institutions.

Conclusion: A challenge for the ministries of education in the Scandinavian countries is to compare and coordinate nursing educational programmes in order to enable nursing students, educators, researchers and nurses to study and work in Scandinavia, Europe or even globally.
