CITAR Seminar

The CITAR Doctoral Seminar (PH 2998) is a Special Topics course primarily for students from Vietnam intending to pursue public health research based careers in Vietnam, particularly careers focused on HIV/AIDS and related conditions.

The seminar goals are:

  • To hone research skills from proposal development to the most practical field issues through discussions and critiques of developing research in a positive environment
  • To learn cross disciplinary interactions
  • To develop close working relationships between CITAR faculty and students that will carry over to future projects in Vietnam
  • To familiarize other SPH faculty and students about Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries

Students and faculty meet for 2 hours each week for inter-disciplinary discussions about issues related to the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic in Southeast Asia.

Many discussions will be about the current work-in-progress of the doctoral students.
