In many cases, trainees on this grant have done lab rotations with two other trainers on the grant in addition to their preceptor. Thus, the trainees and trainers interact in many different ways and this leads to a great sense of cohesiveness. The trainers on this program constitute a close-knit group which interacts constantly with the trainees and with each other. The main focus for interaction is the weekly Virology luncheon seminar. This informal seminar helps the faculty keep track of the progress of each trainee and provides the trainees with excellent experience in oral presentation.
Trainees also receive training in ethical and responsible conduct in research.
