Attending research seminars is integral to our graduate program and your professional development. Students are required to attend weekly research seminars. These seminars provide a forum for students to develop skills in scientific presentation, thought and communication, and balance general and concentration-specific speakers and topics. PhD students are required to enroll in six semesters of EPBI 501 and a minimum of six semesters of concentration-specific seminars.

We also host several Continuing Medical Education (CME) seminars throughout the year, bringing in both local and national speakers on a wide variety of topics in order to introduce potential opportunities for students, enhance workforce development, and provide for faculty development. We do offer CME credit (1 hour) for these events.
