Research

Monthly researcher’s luncheon (2nd Friday)

The luncheon is a casual forum for getting to know other Internal Medicine faculty with research interests.  Generally, one of our faculty presents a brief overview of his or her current work, which serves as a springboard for discussion.

Grant Proposal Review Program

The Department of Internal Medicine coordinates a grant proposal review program for faculty who wish to improve the quality and competitiveness of their extramural funding applications.  These review sessions include senior faculty from a variety of subspecialties who have expertise in obtaining extramural support for their research.  Constructive feedback is provided to the presenter with the goal of strengthening the application.  To schedule a proposal review, contact Dr Calhoun.

Basic Clinical Science Symposium Series

The Basic Clinical Science Symposia are multidisciplinary, team-taught presentations designed to bridge the gap between basic sciences and their clinical applications.  These are disease-oriented sessions, held several times a year in the context of Internal Medicine Grand Rounds.  Typically initiated by a case presentation, the BCS Symposium will include presentations on the clinical aspects of the disorder and on the basic sciences that underlie the clinical presentation.
