As part of the fourth-year course offerings in the College of Medicine, this secondary acting internship is designed to provide students with an advanced level of direct patient care responsibility, greater than that required during a third-year clerkship or fourth-year elective in family medicine. During this course, the student will assume direct responsibility for management of patient care, and with the appropriate oversight of supervising physicians, assume the responsibilities of a first-year intern.

An introduction to the history, production process, fiber qualities and possibilities of hemp production for a fiber crop in the US. This class will serve as an overview for students interested in knowing more about this crop as a source of fiber for textile products. Fiber qualities from a microscopic viewpoint to finished garment potential will be covered by exploring aspects such as fiber hand, dye potential and economic considerations. How hemp fiber compares to other fibers currently on the market will be discussed.

Included is a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each technology and how they must adapt to be viable in the future. Technologies covered include coal, natural gas, nuclear, biomass, wind, solar and advanced technologies.

This course addresses the What?, Why? and How? of recycling. The What? includes a discussion of the various waste classification and recycling codes that are currently used and why they were developed. The Why? begins with a description of Economic Value Stream Mapping and Life Cycle Analysis, and how these are used to justify specific wastes to target for recovery. The How? is a detailed discussion of current and emerging industrial recycling technologies, with a focus on those used in the recycling of metals (non-ferrous, precious and REEs) and plastics.

We will explore the history and landscape of public and philanthropic grants in the United States; the purposes of grants; key principles in grant planning, writing, and management; and focus on strategies to align grant-seeking with the mission of the organization. We will emphasize issues of evaluation and performance management that extend well beyond the grant writing process, along with strategic considerations about meeting public policy, organizational, or research goals through grant-making and grant-seeking.

An introduction to the unique chemical composition of hemp and the potential for hemp-derived compounds, oils, tinctures, etc. to have medical value. An example cannabinoid-based product will be used to illustrate the FDA approval and regulation process. The many claims for hemp oil and cannabinoid use will be discussed from a scientific perspective, especially the safety and evidence for therapeutic value.

An introduction to the rapidly developing world of modern hemp production. The history of hemp production in the US including factors that contributed to its decline and ultimately to the modern resurgence in interest. The current state of hemp regulation will be reviewed with an emphasis on how the regulatory environment affects production systems. Three primary output streams and their associated production systems will be examined. Identification and management for common diseases, insects, and weeds found in hemp production will be covered.
