MSTP Courses at Northwestern University

MSTP Research Seminar (Journal Club) 2004-2005, 4:00-5:15 PM, Ward 12-365

Facilitated by graduate faculty, first and second year MSTP students participate in a weekly research seminar presenting research articles in several major research areas. The goals of MSTP Research Sminar are to learn to critically read and interpret research literature and how to write and critique a research proposal. Once each year, MSTP students write and present a research proposal that is peer-reviewed by at least one graduate faculty preceptor and another MSTP student.

MSTP Grand Rounds 2004-2005, 5:30-6:30 PM

Every third or fourth Wednesday, an MSTP student in the third or fourth year of the MD phase presents a clinical case, reviewing clinical scenarios, pathophysiopathology, and pharmacology and an MSTP student in the first, second, or third year of the PhD phase presents a basic science research paper related to the case. MSTP Grand Rounds is held in a presentation/discussion format, with subsequent formulation of differentials, focus on communication skills, and understanding of the patient, physician-scientist, and society interactions. All MSTP students attend Grand Rounds throughout all years of training, as the goal is to review clinical knowledge, scientific progress, and their interrelationship.
