Office of Fellowship Training
Fellows' Appreciation Dinner
In recognition of the fine work done by Fellows at Children's Hospital, the Office of Fellowship Training invites Children's Hospital fellows to a dinner in conjunction with Children's Hospital Dr. M. Judah Folkman Research Day. This is usually a topic that is not covered during the academic year – something that incorporates the history of medicine or social or public health aspects of medicine.

Dr. Scolnick is well known as an engaging and provocative speaker. He will speak on a very timely subject at the crossroads of neuroscience, medicine and molecular biology.
