Distinguished Scientists Seminars
The Distinguished Scientists Seminar (DSS) program comprises invited talks by leading
scientists from outside institutions. Speakers are selected to complement the Graduate
Training Program in the College of Medicine and cover a wide range of cutting-edge
biomedical research. Seminars are held monthly during the fall and spring semesters.
One seminar per semester is
reserved for the Charles M. Baugh Lecture featuring a nationally/ internationally
recognized scientist.
Nominations for seminar speakers should be forwarded to departmental representatives
on the DSS Committee. If the speaker is approved, the DSS representative notifies
the faculty nominator that the speaker has been approved, gives them a list of available
dates, and the
faculty member then invites the speaker.
