A doctor's career usually involves further training beyond the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, often in an area of special interest. For graduates who wish to become specialists, training is available within the major teaching hospitals for those who gain registrar positions.

Biotechnology is a vast discipline where integrated technology derived from modern biology is applied to the areas from consumer products, the environment to medicine. Biomedical Science is centered upon the specific application of biology in medicine to the areas of diagnostics and therapeutics. See similar questions...

Biomedical Science covers a wide range of subjects from molecules to microbes to medicine, from body systems to biotechnology, and from human genome to health issues. In the post-genomics age, these relevant branches of sciences are converging to deliver the promises held out by biotechnology. The mastery of the Biomedical Sciences is associated with a passion for science, and the desire to contribute towards understanding fundamental processes through a relentless process of questioning.

Yes. Every thing we do is science or logic based. The conventional medical system has not yet caught on to many of the methods that we use. Like any big institution, they are slow to change even if better methods are available and valid. This coupled with the insurance issues involved are the main reasons why our methods have not been adopted by the mainstream. Any medicine has its risks. See similar questions...

The cut off point varies from year to year depending on the calibre of students who apply for the course and the number of vacancies available. For AY06/07, the cut off point for Diploma in Biomedical Science is 20. See similar questions...

This is a question YOU need to be able to answer to your meeting planner, so read Science of Influence...quickly! In a nutshell, PoP is a complete model of communication, persuasion, selling and marketing. Science of Influence contains razor edge new material that ultimately can be put into that model. The books are VERY different from each other. SoI is extracted from the Science of Influence CD library. Approximately 10% of the material in the CD library is in the book. See similar questions...

Both degrees require 30 semester credits. However, the Masters of Engineering degree consists primarily of coursework with an advanced practicum of 2-4 credits and the Masters of Science consists of a research project or research thesis which consists of 2-9 credits. The Masters of Engineering degree also provides more flexibility in coursework a student may wish to take outside the department. See similar questions...

Acupuncture is a global term recognized to represent Chinese Medicine, but this is somewhat of a mistake in nomenclature. Acupuncture is a modality found under the umbrella of Chinese Medicine. See similar questions...

The biomedical science research technologist is primarily employed in private biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and university or government based research laboratories. They may also seek employment in management and education. See similar questions...

Computer Science deals with solving problems through the use of a computer while Cognitive Science deals with the understanding how the brain works and how behavior is shaped by outside stimuli. To understand the brain, you need to simulate and analyze models of the brain with the help of computers. Cognitive Science encapsulates Computer Science but not the other way around.

If your child has asthma or asthma-related breathing problems, you may be familiar with rescue (sometimes called "quick relief") medicines, like albuterol or oral steroids, which are used to provide fast relief from sudden asthma symptoms that accompany attacks. But, rescue medicines are not meant to be used every day. Controller (sometimes called "preventive" or "maintenance") medicines, when used as prescribed, help prevent asthma symptoms and attacks on an ongoing basis. See similar questions...

Herbal medicine uses herbal remedies. Although homoeopathic medicines are made from natural substances, they are highly diluted and act in a very different way than herbal medicines. For example, a homoeopathic preparation of Chamomile will treat very different symptoms than a herbal tincture of Chamomile. See similar questions...

Naturopathic doctors are trained in conventional medical sciences as well as other complimentary and alternative treatments. Naturopathic medicine is an umbrella term for doctors that practice many different treatments, called modalities. These modalities include herbal or botanical medicine, traditional Chinese medicine (including acupuncture and herbs), clinical nutrition, vitamin supplementation, lifestyle counseling and homeopathy.

There are many autism therapies other than ABA that are available, and we believe that many of these therapies have helped some children with autism. In time, we hope there will be other therapies that also will be shown to be effective through rigorous research. LA FEAT encourages parents to start with a quality, intensive ABA program. You may also want to consider alternative therapies, particularly if you child is not progressing to your satisfaction in the ABA program. See similar questions...

Consensus conferences are undertaken where there is a strong body of higher quality evidence (randomized trials, well designed observational studies) and it is reasonable to expect that the panel will be able to give clinical direction. State-of-the-Science conferences are used in cases where the evidence base is weaker and the sponsoring NIH Institute or Center (IC) is seeking the panel's opinion on future research and priorities.

Computer science is more focused on the "technical details" than is the IST program. Computer science majors require coursework that typically includes Calculus I, II, & III, Matrices, Differential Equations, Physics I & II , digital circuitry, introductory through advanced programming, assembly language, computer organization, compiler design, operating systems, and artificial intelligence. See similar questions...

Computer Science (CS) is a degree program within the College of Engineering. It focuses more on the mathematical and theoretical aspects of computing, and specifically on the development of computer programs and operating systems. The freshman math courses for CS are more rigorous than the math courses for a business degree, and the computer programming requirements are significantly greater in CS. See similar questions...

We consider computer science to be more related to software development and computer engineering to be closely connected to hardware development. Computer Science at UR is part of the College of Arts & Sciences and has core requirements that all CAS students have, including broad coursework in Humanities, Social Sciences & Natural Science in addition to the concentration requirements of math & computer courses.
