Prospective students may attend any of these presentations. Presentations are typically one hour. Scheduling varies monthly based on presenter availability, but presentations are typically Tuesday-Thursday at 12 PM CST.

Journal Club: Bimonthly genetic counselor review and discussion of recent cancer genetics publications. Journal club takes place on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month via Microsoft Teams from 3:30-4:00 PM CST.
