Group seminars
You will be allocated to one of the groups, based on either:
- your stated preferences or
- the preference of your supervisors.
The groups are based on general themes.
We will have 11 weeks of seminars in the Fall Term and 11 weeks of seminars in the Winter/Spring Term (22 weeks total).
Attendance requirements
You must attend a total of ten weeks of these student seminars throughout the year. Five of those weeks must be from within your own allocated group. In-person attendance is mandatory.
You must attend 50% of our Faculty Seminars (also known as the Monday Seminar series). You are required to attend 50% during the Fall Term and 50% during the Winter/Spring Term. In-person attendance is mandatory.
Details of the Faculty Seminars are sent by email and are available in the LMP events calendar.
We welcome suggestions for invited speakers. To suggest a speaker for the Faculty Seminar, please complete a nomination form.
You may attend any additional seminars of interest.
- MSc students must attend in their first two years of study
- PhD students must attend in their first four years of study.
| Group | Weeks of seminars over the year |
|---|---|
| Group 1: Brain and Neuroscience | 12 weeks |
| Group 2: Cancer, Development and Aging | 13 weeks |
| Group 3: Cardiovascular, Physiology and Metabolism/ Molecular and Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine | 11 weeks |
| Group 4: Infectious Diseases, Inflammation and Immunology | 8 weeks |
Format of the group seminars
Each week, two of the groups will hold seminars at the same time in different rooms.
Students in the audience are suggested to wear a mask for in-person sessions.
Laptops and cell phones are not to be used during the seminars.
Typically, two students in each group will present in each session.
This is a pass/fail course. To achieve a 'pass' (100% attendance), you must attend at least eight seminars.
Each seminar will be moderated by two faculty. These professors will provide feedback/evaluation of both presentations at the end of each session.
It is expected that your PIs/supervisors will also be present when you are presenting. Other Faculty are, of course, strongly encouraged to attend regularly.
You must submit the title and abstract (~250 words) for your seminar to lmp.grad@utoronto.ca by Monday at 10 am the week before your presentation.
