FEBRUARY – APRIL 2007:
2nd MCRiT Clinical Research Lecture Series
The goal of the Multidisciplinary Clinical Researchers in Training (MCRiT) Lecture Series is to introduce all Medical, Dental, Nursing, and Pharmacy doctoral students to clinical research early in the course of study, and to provide the foundation for interested students to pursue further clinical research training. The Lecture Series is open to all interested faculty, staff, and students. Registration is required for each session (http://cgi.research.umich.edu/training/cacr/cacr_training.lasso). There are no registration or attendance fees. The lecture series is sponsored by funds granted to the MCRiT Program by the NIH.
All lectures are held from 4:00-6:00 PM in Palmer Commons.
The remaining dates and speakers are as follows:
March 6, 2007: William E. Evans, PharmD, Director and CEO, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (Lecture Topic TBA).
