Special
Projects are electives with UT-Houston faculty that are arranged
on an ad hoc basis--they are not listed in the catalog. They allow
you to pursue a particular interest with a particular faculty member.
1) There are two options for Special Projects at UT-Houston. One, SPEC 4000, is reserved for clinical electives, and the other, SPEC 4001, is reserved for research electives. When choosing one of these courses, please write in the title (e.g.,
"Research in Ophthalmology", or "Pediatric Clinical Elective").
2) At least 2 months prior to the start of the Special Project
month, obtain a Special
Project Form from Student Affairs and have the faculty
member fill it out and sign it. Then submit the form to Student
Affairs for approval by either Dr. Lahoti or Dr. McNeese. You
will receive a copy of the approved form in your mailbox or via
email.
