This twice-monthly seminar is for medical students interested in a career as a physician-scientist.  Every other session will be a discussion of a journal article of interest in a translational, clinical or population research area or on a topic connecting basic science to translational medicine with the overall objective of exploring and broadening interest in a physician-scientist career path.  Students will choose and present the article along with their faculty mentors. On the alternate weeks, invited physician-scientists will give presentations regarding career development.

For MD students enrolled in the HIP program, contact Karen McCracken if you wish to be registered for academic credit.

Schedule: Second and Fourth Mondays of each month, 5:30-6:30 pm in CHH 3171/3181 unless otherwise noted.
