Program Seminar Schedule
Structured seminars offer scholars an overview of the determinants of health, in-depth exposures to relevant research, and sustained experiences in an interdisciplinary research environment. Scholars will have some shared core course experience, coupled with an individualized curriculum oriented around the scholar's specific educational background and professional goals. Two seminars and one ten-week course on the "Responsible Conduct of Research" constitute the core aspects of our curricular plan.
