Seminar Series
Overview
Held three times each semester, these meetings alternate between an informal faculty presentation, a student chalk talk, and a visiting faculty lecture. Members of the Student Council are responsible for scheduling speakers and selecting food. These sessions represent outstanding opportunities for students to interact in a scientific, collegial forum. Students are expected to attend at least 2 sessions each semester. A particular emphasis of these seminars is how one balances the many callings of physician-scientists. For example, a popular forum from past years is a round table discussion with faculty and fellows at different career stages discussing their integration of research and clinical training.
