DOM Vice Chair for Research Jil Tardiff, MD, PhD, noted that the series pairs a senior and junior investigator, usually from different divisions, for two 20-minute presentations followed by a question-and-answer period. The lectures are designed to spotlight the quality of research being done by physician-scientists in the department and encourage mentorship between junior and senior faculty.
A light lunch will be served in the style of grand rounds.
