Weekly Lecture Series
CORE hosts a weekly lecture series throughout the year. The series reflects the wide variety of activities and interests of the MMCRI, MMC and CORE communities, and includes topics on public health, community health issues, outcomes research, clinical decision-making, and clinical practice, among others.
The weekly sessions provide a forum to present ongoing or completed research projects, issues in data analysis, evolving concepts for grants and collaborations, and approaches to problem solving. The weekly series is an opportunity for exposure to new research ideas, refinement of current research skills and collaborative brainstorming.
