Perspectives of Women in Science

The purpose of this Annual Lectureship is to expose students and faculty at Yale School of Medicine to the unique perspectives of prominent female physician-scientists. A seasoned female physician scientist will be invited annually to give a 1 hour lecture on her path to a successful career in science, discussing her scientific career with the context of personal and professional opportunities and challenges that shaped her path to becoming a physician-scientist. The speaker will be chosen by the MSTP student body.

This lecture series is sponsored by the Dean’s Office and the MD-PhD Program.
