<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:black">Students in their second year of graduate school will present their dissertation work to their colleagues in the fall. The goal of these presentations is to hone
students' communication skills and seek feedback from their esteemed colleagues prior to their grant submissions. Each presentation will be 15 minutes long with 10 minutes for questions. Please be respectful of your colleagues' time. This change is due to
feedback from the Town hall this Spring. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;color:black">We will have a mixture of NEJM clinical cases and clinical trials for the presentations by graduate students. These presentations will reinforce pathophysiology for
the MSI and MSII years, help develop clinical reasoning skills for students, and provide a framework for approaching common and rare disease presentations. The clinical trials presentations will help develop students' skills in interpreting clinical trials
which will inform their clinical decisions in the clinic. Please aim for a completing the presentation in 45 minutes. Please allocate time for questions and discussion from the audience. </span></p>
