Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD Students from NorDoc member faculties. All other participants must pay the course fee.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. This also applies to PhD students from NorDoc member faculties. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list.
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will:
1. have an understanding of the application of translational research in exercise as medicine and will have developed the ability to critically evaluate current research in the field,
2. have received training in key methods related to exercise as medicine,
3. have gained insight, understanding and appreciation of exercise as medicine within a range of different diseases and settings,
4. have been presented with the requirements for developing clinically viable studies including exercise interventions within a number of major diseases,
5. and have received training in and demonstrated the ability to disseminate and communicate his/her PhD project in a clear and effective manner.
Content
The course will focus on the application of exercise training in the management of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiopulmonary disease, and cancer.
These areas will be covered translationally, i.e., from an epidemiological perspective, across integrative physiological evidence to mechanistic molecular insight into the interplay between exercise training and disease.
In addition, the students will be presented to challenges in designing and concluding on exercise interventions trials, as well as barriers for implementing and maintaining people and patients in active lifestyles.
Centre for Physical Activity Research gives priority to dissemination of research not only to colleagues, but also to lay people. Therefore we have found it of interest to include sessions in the PhD course program that aim at qualifying the students to communicate their PhD project in a clear and concise manner.
Also a mandatory evening session has been included in which the participants will be given the opportunity to network scientifically with the course teachers and other senior researcher to e.g., discuss future research career opportunities.
Participants
The course is aimed at experienced PhD students with a background as MD, MSc or equivalent, who are interested in exercise physiology, clinical application of exercise, or exercise and public health.
Preferably, the PhD student should have initiated his/her research project. Before the course starts the participants are expected to prepare themselves by writing a synopsis for the pitching of their project.
A template for the synopsis will be circulated prior to the course. This will be used for pitch training and short presentations during the course.
Relevance to graduate programmes
The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH:
- Basic and Clinical Research in Musculoskeletal Sciences
- Basic Metabolic Research
- Clinical Cancer Research
Language
The entire PhD course will be given in English.
Form
The PhD course consists of two integrated parts – a 3½ PhD course with lectures, lab exercises, and student presentations (including training in research dissemination/communication) – and an international ½-day symposium.
The course days will combine in-depth overviews of the interaction between clinical care and exercise from a translational perspective and lab exercise to ensure that the students are able to apply key methods related to the study of exercise as medicine.
Moreover, topics on critical application of research results as well as research communication will be brought into the discussion and teaching. During the course, time is set aside for the students to meet, interact, and discuss with the invited internationally renowned researchers.
The international ½-day symposium will include presentations and discussions of current research topics and critical opinions within different fields of exercise, clinical and pre-clinical research.
