3. Research Opportunities with UAEM
Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM), a national
student-run research and advocacy group, offers stipends to graduate
or undergraduate students to complete part-time research projects
pertaining to the effect of intellectual property laws and university
technology licensing on access to lifesaving medical technologies in
low- and middle-income countries. UAEM will help students arrange for
academic credit in place of a stipend, at the student's preference.
UAEM has developed a list of potential research projects and is open
to projects of the researcher's own design. UAEM will provide an
introduction to the subject-specific knowledge necessary to complete
each research project. Students will be required to submit a final
report to UAEM.
Suggested projects include:
i.Developing summaries of UC Berkeley patent licensing agreements for
medical related technologies that address (1) involved parties (2)
potential impact for global healthcare (3) provisions for essential
medicine access
ii.Imagining possible incentives for research on neglected diseases
iii.Creating informational packets for scientific researchers on their
rights and obligations under university intellectual property policies
iv.Assessing concerns of parallel importation under agreements
allowing for differential pricing of pharmaceuticals in developing
countries.
v.Feasability of open-source drug development models at UC Berkeley
Undergraduate Students: $1750
Graduate Students: $2250

4. Integrative Medicine De-Cal Class
Then sign up for the Integrative Medicine DeCal class, held Mondays from
5:30-7:30 in 2050 VLSB!
I'm sure many of you grow tired of the painfully intense and dry pre-med
classes traditionally taught here at Cal, so give yourself a break! This is
a fun, interesting way to learn about the many *different* forms of medicine
that you can practice in your future career or use for your own health
benefits. No science background required, so bring your friends, too!
This class is a survey course on a diversity of healing sciences and health
and medical practices. We invite professionals in the practices of allopathy
(modern medicine), osteopathy, homeopathy, midwifery, Native American
medicine, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Taoist medicine, ayurveda,
ethnobotany, yoga, energy medicine, and meditation to share their insight
and knowledge in the healing arts of medicine across cultures.
The goal of this course is to promote awareness and expose students to the
different types of complimentary and alternative therapies in the medical
field. Our aim is for each student to walk away with a basic awareness of
what each medical therapy and health practice is about and how to evaluate
evidence scientifically. We hope that this knowledge will be sufficient to
intrigue curiosity and encourage students to search for more info on their
own.
The class is based on students' reflection of new experiences and concepts
of healing so there are no tests, but attendance is required.
The course control numbers are below. You can also get more information on
our DeCal page at www.decal.org/137 . Hope to see you Monday!
IB 98 CCN: 43051 (lower division credit)
