Pharmacology Graduate Seminar (PhD)

3 credits · Graduate

A mandatory course for all trainees in the Pharmacology graduate program. Satisfactory performance in the course components is required throughout the degree program for the student to be receive a passing grade in their final year. There are three components to the course: 1. The Pharmacology Departmental Seminar Series. Seminars are typically held weekly during the fall and winter terms and attendance is mandatory for all trainees in the Department of Pharmacology. Speakers come from a variety of backgrounds including academia, industry, and government. Students are often given the opportunity to meet informally with guest speakers. 2. Presentation of research seminars and attendance of Pharmacology Graduate Student Research Days. Typically research days are held annually in the fall (PhD) and winter (MSc) terms. While presentation is only required at the event linked to the trainee’s degree program, attendance is mandatory for both annual research days. Each trainee seminar is assessed by attending Faculty who provide oral and written feedback on the quality and content of their presentation. 3. Pharmacology Trainee Defences. Trainees must attend the graduate student defences presented in the Department of Pharmacology. These occur throughout the academic year on an ad hoc basis.
