Research Seminar Series
The weekly research seminar includes seminars, lectures, presentations, and discussions and will be the primary forum in which visitors make presentations to the Scholars. All Scholars lead the seminar at least three times during their two-year training. During the first year, Scholars discuss their research plans and the relevant literature, both to receive substantive input from the group and to learn the process of research design. During the second year, Scholars present their research findings at one meeting and at another meeting discuss the policy implications of their work.

The University of Michigan Medical School is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.   The University of Michigan Medical School takes responsibility for the content, quality, and scientific integrity of this CME activity. The University of Michigan Medical School designates this educational activity for a maximum of 1.5 category 1 credits toward the AMA Physician's Recognition Award.   Each physician should claim only those credits that he/she actually spent in the activity.
