The aim of the course is to give PhD students working with technologies associated with heart transplantation a deeper understanding of the clinical practice in which their research outcomes will eventually be deployed.

The course covers contemporary practice of heart transplantation from a Swedish perspective, with outlooks both internationally and to how novel emerging technologies are likely to change this practice.

Through involving medical practitioner as advisors, the students obtain knowledge through a combination of guided literature search and self study, and dialogue with said experts.

The format of the course is that of a study circle project, in which the students pair up and explore research literature and regulatory texts, to cover the knowledge and understanding requirements.

The tangible outcomes are a written report, in the form of a mini review article, and a presentation for the group and advisors.
