CTRID/MEDVAMC Research Seminars
Continuing Medical Education (CME)-accredited research seminars are held at 4 p.m. every Thursday, and are hosted in a hybrid format, both on Zoom and in-person in Building 109, Room 208 at Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center. Our seminar series provides a platform to promote interactions and collaboration among new and established investigators. Our audience members have a broad range of research expertise, and often include a few clinicians with limited basic science background. Moreover, the seminar also allows investigators to seek feedback on upcoming grant applications, manuscripts, etc.
