Enrolment guidelines

Course description
The course covers cardiovascular function, from the microcirculation to the heart, with a focus on the influence of lifestyle related disease and physical activity. Emphasis will be on the latest state of the art research in the field as well as experimental procedures and analytical methods. The course will include four senior international lecturers as well as several Danish lecturers, each well-renowned within their field. The lecturers are expected to participate throughout the whole course.

Format
The course will be a combination of lectures and discussions and practical hands-on as well as demonstration experiments, data treatment and data presentation. An important part of the course is presentations and discussions of the PhD projects of the participating PhD students. There will be a strong emphasis on interactions between faculty and students as well as between students to promote scientific discussions and networking.

Learning outcome

The students are expected to get a solid insight into:

• The latest state of the art in the area of macro- and microvascular function and skeletal muscle angiogenesis.

• How macro- and microvascular function and skeletal muscle angiogenesis is influenced by life style related disease and physical activity

• Experimentation and methods in cardiovascular physiology, including hands on with several methods

The students are also expected to learn how to critically evaluate scientific work and to improve their ability to present and discuss science.

Literature

Literature will consist of scientific articles provided as electronic links to the course participants in the weeks before course start.

Workload

The course runs on-site over five full days. The students are expected to have read the articles on their own time in preparation for the lectures. The students are also expected to prepare for presentations, discussions, experimental work and data analysis. In total, the expected workload for the students amounts to at least 75 hrs of work, corresponding to 3 ECTS. The participants are expected to put at least half of these hours into selfstudy for the course, preparing presentations and articles.
