Seminars: Biomedical Sciences

The primary purpose of the departmental seminar series is to provide a regularly scheduled series of seminars, with expert speakers, and in a venue in which new findings of clinical relevance to the practice of Medicine will be presented and discussed. Departmental seminars are held, via Zoom Webinars and on the 2nd Thursday of the month, from 3:00- 4:30pm EST, August through June.

Biomedical Sciences Departmental Seminar Series are free and open to all.


CME Course Objectives

CME credit is available to participants who attend and who have filled out an attestation form.

Upon completion of this program, attendees should be able to:

  • Apply the information delivered in the session to compare and contrast current therapeutic modalities to future possibilities of treatments of disease.
  • Able to use the information delivered to differentiate novel mechanisms of disease to established paradigms.
  • Demonstrate the ability to ask appropriate questions of the material and recognize when lines of inquiry fall outside of disciplinary boundaries.
