M.D./Ph.D. Journal Club
Journal Club is a required course for all MD/PhD students and attendance is required. With a few exceptions including holidays and academic breaks, Journal Club is hosted every Thursday from 12-1pm.
Please email the MD/PhD program to be added to the journal club listserve for weekly updates and most recent information.
Each MD/PhD student will present a journal article of their choosing 1-2 times each year throughout the entirety of their program. Once a month a faculty member will present at Journal Club on their research or as a career/professional development session.
