Scientific and Professional Development (SPD) Workshops
The SPD monthly dinner meetings provide opportunities for MSTP student professional development. For most SPDs, students organize sessions on student-selected topics. Occasionally, Miller School or visiting physician-scientists are invited to discuss current research, combined degree training, their career path, and other areas of interest to MSTP students.
Examples of past SPD workshop topics:
- Clinical Trials and Human Subjects Research
- Business of Academic Medicine
