MSc level students are required to take a cardiovascular curriculum half credit from any one of the following "Courses Offered" below. If there is a cardiovascular course not listed below, please contact the CSCP (cv.program@utoronto.ca) so that consideration can be given to that course. Note: Students that complete any of the JCV courses at the MSc level will have this credited towards their PhD course requirements for the CSCP.
PhD level students are required to take any two of the four course selections to complete their CSCP course requirements: JCV3060, JCV3061, JCV3062, or JCV3063. Note: Students that complete any of the JCV courses at the MSc level will have this credited towards their PhD course requirements for the CSCP.
The JCV course designate indicates that most collaborating departments accept these courses toward their degree requirements - check with your department. These courses are intended to provide current state-of-the-art information on timely research topics in the cardiovascular field through seminars given by our faculty who are recognized experts. Students enrolled in the course do a presentation on a topic of their choosing relating to the course. Students are evaluated on their presentation, their class participation/attendance, and a review article that they write under the supervision of a mentor who was one of the session leaders. These courses are held in the FitzGerald Bldg from 10:00-12:00 every Friday morning. Further details on each of these courses are available below.
