LeaHD LHS Scientist Seminar Series
For six months of the program, scientists will complete the PCORI Methodology Standards Academic Curriculum, and participate in a twice monthly seminar series led by Beth Skidmore & Theresa Shireman. During this virtual seminar, scientists will review and discuss key content of each module. The intensity of the scientist seminar will help scientists focus on essentials, gain and reinforce knowledge, and kick start the application of this knowledge to their projects. Please complete the Scientist Seminar Survey after each seminar meeting.
