990 Seminar Series (2012-2013) • All CH&EP students (MSc & PhD) are required to register, attend and participate in the CH&EP 990 seminar. The 990 seminar series consist of four types: 1) CH&EP Student Research Day; 2) journal club; 3) CH&E faculty research presentations; and 4) presentations by individuals/groups external to CH&E (ie., university, community). • The 990 seminar will take place on Mondays, two-three times a month. In addition to this seminar, students will attend an average of one other community health-related seminar each month from other departments/colleges/schools.
990 con’t • Students are required to attend all of the CH&EP 990 sessions. Please email Dr. Janzen if you are unable to attend a particular seminar. For seminars outside the department, students are required to attend a minimum of two per term (you can attend more!). • Attendance is taken at every CH&EP seminar. For seminars outside the department, you will submit (to Cindy Elchuk), at the end of each term, a list of the seminars attended (title and date), and a signature from the coordinator confirming your attendance. See the 990 web page for the sign in sheet. • If you are unable to meet these requirements, please contact Dr. Bonnie Janzen (bonnie.janzen@usask.ca). An alternative assignment will be given in term 1 (a written critique of a quantitative article) and term 2 (a written critique of a qualitative article).
990 con’t • In addition to regular attendance at these seminars, all CH&E MSc & PhD students are required to: • Present their thesis at the CH&EP Student Research Day. Although presenters are typically those students in their 2nd year, all students are required to attend and participate. Date: Thursday, February 17, 2013 (11:30am-5:00pm) • Lead a journal club discussion (2nd year students). First year students are still required to attend and participate. This will take place in T2.
