Academic Year (2009 - 2010)
Clinical Scientist Dinner Seminars

MSTP SPONSORED EVENT:

An informal evening meeting organized by the MSTP 1st Year Ph.D. students is held once a month from September - April. At each meeting, dinner is provided and a member of the Stony Brook/Brookhaven/Cold Spring Harbor faculty or an external speaker makes a presentation to the students. These meetings represent unique opportunities for the students to interact closely and intensely with potential mentors and/or to learn about the multiple types of future career paths available from local and extramural physician scientists, some of whom are also alumni of the program.

Faculty appreciate the opportunity to discuss their results in an intimate forum with a group of talented and motivated students. Approximately half the presenting faculty are drawn from the clinical research pool to give students the opportunity to interact with individuals engaged in the type of research they may elect to pursue later in their careers. This facilitates discussion of the combined medicine / science academic career path from a wide variety of perspectives.

Please be advised that all students are expected to attend this without exception unless clinical duties (3rd and 4th year medical students only) preclude it. Our ability and interest in maintaining activities like this, is dependent on the level of interest you display.

The Program Director would like to see more than 90% attendance at these meetings. Occasional conflict is to be expected; but it should be the rule to attend unless there is an unavoidable conflict (such as illness, out-of-town, or other formal engagement).
