<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: 16.8667px;">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 and fourth/fifth year graduate students present a Clinical Case from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). 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. 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.</span></p>
