Dr. Gregory D Funk is currently appointed as Professor and Chair in the Department of Physiology in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry.Courses
PHYSL 698 - Undergraduate Research Mentoring
A credit/no-credit course for graduate students who are actively participating in the mentorship of undergraduate students in a half term research course (e.g. PHYSL 461 or 468) in the Department of Physiology. Mentorship includes activities such as in-lab supervision, training, and help with reports and presentations. Can be taken in any year and Spring/Summer session. Credit may be obtained more than once. Requires the submission of an initial project summary with student learning objectives, monthly progress and final reports. This course cannot be used to satisfy course requirements of the Physiology Graduate Programs. Prerequisite: Consent of the Department of Physiology and the student's supervisor.
PHYSL 699B - Undergraduate Research Mentoring
A credit/no-credit course for graduate students who are actively participating in the mentorship of undergraduate students in a full-term research course (e.g. PHYSL 467; 468/469) in the Department of Physiology. Mentorship includes activities such as in-lab supervision, training, and help with reports and presentations. Can be taken in any year. Credit may be obtained more than once. Requires the submission of an initial project summary with student learning objectives, monthly progress and final reports. This course cannot be used to satisfy course requirements of the Physiology Graduate Programs. Prerequisite: Consent of the Department of Physiology and the student's supervisor.
