MSTP Research Seminar ("Journal Club") in 2002-2003

Facilitated by graduate faculty, first and second year MSTP students conduct a weekly research seminar (journal club) presenting research articles in several major research areas. The goals of MSTP are to learn how to critically read and interpret research literature and how to write and critique a research proposal. Once a year students write a research proposal and present it to their peers. Each proposal is reviewed by at least one graduate faculty preceptor and by one peer.

MSTP Grand Rounds

Throughout all years of training, MSTP students participate in MSTP Grand Rounds held approximately every third week at the Chicago campus. Two MSTP students (one in the clinical phase and the other in the research phase) conduct MSTP Grand Rounds. The learning goals are: to review clinical principles and practices, scientific progress in the diagnosis and treatment, and their interrelationship; to practice communication skills; and to develop an understanding of the patient, physician-scientist, and society interactions. The clinical phase student (third or fourth year medical student) presents a clinical case with review of systems, differential diagnosis, relevant laboratory, imaging, pharmacology, treatment, and outcomes. The research phase student presents a recent basic science research paper related to the case study. MSTP Grand Rounds is held in a discussion format, with all students contibuting to differentials. All MSTP students attend and active participation is encouraged.
