The preceptor and student will submit specialty specific learning objectives to Dr. Cohn. The student will attend regularly scheduled specialty conferences (to be determined by the student and his/her clinic preceptor). Assignment may be made weekly, twice monthly, or monthly or as determined by the student and clinical preceptor (as long as clinical contact occurs on a monthly basis at minimum). The student is expected to determine feasibility of participation in the context of graduate studies and laboratory responsibilities.
