<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif">All MD/PhD students will be registered in the MDPH 602, MD/PhD Grand Rounds for every semester of their training. The goal of MD/PhD
Grand Rounds is to facilitate peer mentorship, create a sense of community, and a culture of inquiry. The MD/PhD Grand Rounds course recurs weekly during the academic calendar. All MD/PhD students participate in Grand Rounds and are required to attend except
for those in clinical clerkships and students attending scientific meetings. Attendance at grand rounds is a program requirement. If a student cannot attend, an email must be sent prior to grand rounds to the program director and program coordinator. First-
and second-year students will present their summer laboratory rotation work. First year graduate students present a *Clinical Case from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) with mentorship from the program director. Second year graduate students present
their dissertation work and grant proposal for peer review. Third year graduate students present a critical review of a clinical trial, and fourth year graduate students present a Clinical Case from the NEJM. Students in their fourth year of medical school
share a ‘Senior Capstone Presentation’ of a topic of their own choosing. Humble inquiry and curiosity are encouraged to facilitate reinforcement and in-depth discussion of clinical topics for graduate students, peer review of their laboratory work, and develop
medical education skills. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
