Seminars are intended to highlight the research being done by the broader global health community, and provide an opportunity for students to engage in a dialogue about the methods, results, and implications of the research. In addition, this seminar series exposes students to the broad array of issues in completing research projects and the magnitude of work involved in producing salient results.
