Join distinguished physicians, researchers, educators, and innovators for special guest sessions exploring medical research, clinical medicine, academic careers, innovation, and professional development.
These sessions bring real-world perspectives from experts across institutions and specialties, giving students the opportunity to learn from their experiences, ask questions, and gain practical insights beyond the core MedRC curriculum.
Recordings of selected talks will be available in this course for enrolled students.
