Fellows Research-In-Progress Meeting
| Fellows Research-in Progress Meeting “Fellows Report” The FM-GIM fellows meet as a group with Drs. Friedman, Jack, Liebschutz, Berlowitz and Chetty monthly to listen to prepared research-in-progress presentations by four fellows per session. Presentations are given at various stages in the life cycle of a research project including its conceptual, study design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation phases. The goals of the Work-in-Progress meetings are (1) to help the presenting fellow deal with particular research issues the presenter raises and issues identified by the other fellows and faculty, and (2) to give all fellows experience in formulating and expressing critiques and in responding to the critiques in a “give and take” manner. To this end, the faculty encourage maximum fellow participation by letting the fellows present their critiques and letting the presenter respond, before the faculty offer their observations. This conference has been viewed by fellows as being very helpful in developing and conducting their research and in helping them improve their research presentation and commentary skills. |
