Seminars in Pediatrics: Bedside to Bench

The purpose of these seminars is to begin understanding how interesting questions derived from patients can help us learn more about biologic and pathologic processes. We will specifically engage the group in discussions related to diseases or medical problems that affect infants and children. Students will select a topic and faculty preceptor, see a patient with that preceptor, lead a seminar, present the patient briefly to the group, and, most importantly, develop some questions that arise in the course of learning about the patients. The questions may relate to unanswered issues in this or similar patients, or about related biologic process.

MD/PhD Research-in-Progress Seminar

These seminars enable students nearing the completion of their thesis work to present it publicly and critically to students and faculty. We believe that it is very important for students in the first two years of the Program to be exposed to the research accomplishments of the more advanced students. Students in the early stages of their training come away with an immense appreciation for the progress made by their more senior peers. This helps to build their confidence in their own ability to carry out all that will be required of them. Connections made between the junior and senior students helps to unify the Program vertically and fosters a spirit of shared participation. Often, these seminars become occasions for the senior students to offer advice based their own experience concerning choosing a discipline, a laboratory, a mentor or a career direction. For the senior students, these seminars provide a valuable opportunity to practice their presentation skills. Many students use these seminars as an opportunity to practice and critique their thesis defense presentations. The participation and comments of Program-affiliated faculty helps to ensure that the seminars are viewed as an important part of the MD-PhD experience.
