Interdisciplinary Seminar Series

Beginning 2008-2009 academic year, the Curriculum Committee has changed the third and fourth year clinical experiences to allow required and elective rotations to be scheduled during both years. Simultaneously, the Curriculum Committee established the Interdisciplinary Seminar Series (IDS). The goal of the seminar series is to bring students and faculty together to discuss topics that span the clinical years and may be utilized during multiple clinical rotations. Topics have been identified throughout the curriculum that will be augmented to provide well rounded educational opportunities. These topics will be presented in an interactive learning session with the exact format determined by the seminar leaders. Examples of sessions include case based learning, problem based learning, standardized patients and small group discussions.

Third year students are required to complete a minimum of 5 topics by the midpoint of their fourth year and must schedule a minimum of 1 seminar per 4 month scheduling block. There will be both a minimum and maximum number of students who can attend each seminar as determined by the seminar leader. 

More seminars will be posted, as they become available. Each seminar has limited space, therefore the sooner you sign up, the better.

Students, If there is a problem signing up, please contact Tiffany Palmer by phone: 504.988.6600 or by e-mail: ids@tulane.edu.

Faculty who would like to participate may complete the online Faculty Seminar Form or contact the contact Tiffany Palmer by phone: 504.988.6600 by e-mail: ids@tulane.edu."
