College of Medicine Research Seminar

Fall 2008 - Spring 2009

Thursdays at 4:00 PM in room TBA


Other Seminars of Interest:  Genetics Institute   Psychiatry   Rehabilitation Research


The COM Research Seminar series is designed to serve all graduate student, post-doc and faculty researchers in the College of Medicine and/or affiliated with the IDP.  An outstanding menu of speakers is being recruited, representing a broad range of interests.  Speakers are encouraged to pitch their talks to a broad audience without compromising detail or rigor.  We hope that all faculty, post-docs & graduate students will make an effort to incorporate this event into their regular weekly schedule of activities.  Faculty members interested in meeting individually with guest speakers should contact the speaker's host.

A graduate student luncheon will be held for each seminar speaker and up to 8 graduate students at 12:00 noon.  You must be signed up in advance with the seminar speaker's host or Ms. Teresa Richardson (392-3761) to attend the luncheon.  First-year IDP students receive course credit for seminar attendance by registration for the IDP Seminar Course (GMS 6901), directed by Wayne T. McCormack, Ph.D. 

If you are interested in scheduling speakers, please contact Dr. Wayne McCormack at 392-7413 or mccormac@pathology.ufl.edu.  Tentative dates can be reserved.  The hosting department will be responsible for speaker expenses (travel, lodging, meals, honorarium).  The Office of Graduate Education will provide the noon student luncheon, pre-seminar snacks & drinks, the venue, and advertising.
