Quarterly Fellows Sessions and Annual Symposium
The Quarterly Fellows Sessions are an opportunity for our trainees and faculty to present their research and to discuss special topics such as grant submissions or human subjects. Each quarterly session is coordinated by one of the trainees in conjunction with the Program Coordinator. In the Spring the entire Biobehavioral Cancer Training Program faculty and mentors are invited for a half day of showcasing the accomplishments of the trainees.
