CLUB COMMUNITIES
Physician Shadowing CommitteeThe PNS Physician Shadowing Committee is an opportunity for students to attend hour-long presentations detailing paths to medicine, what a day in the life of a physician looks like, and ask any pre-med related questions they may have while receiving credit for the virtual shadowing hours they complete.
Requirements: - must attend at least 4 events and ask at least one question during each of the live sessions - must complete an assessment after every event and obtain a score of 75% or higher - must attend all of our clubs GBMs |
Research CommitteeThe PNS Research Committee invites a small cohort of students to weekly meetings discussing brain science from a bird's-eye view. Between meetings, the Research Committee completes tailored readings pulling from neuroscientific pop-literature and accessible neuroscience research. During meetings, our goal is to use group discussion to foster a sense of historical perspective on the field of neuroscience and the myriad ways the brain has been conceptualized and understood, and how it might be in the future.
Research Committee membership is application-based, and its selected readings rotate on a semesterly basis. For the 2021 Spring semester, we are primarily engaging with Matthew Cobb's The Idea of the Brain. Requirements -Attend weekly Research Committee meetings -Observe RC & PNS attendance policy |
Journal CommitteeJournal Committee is a new initiative being lead to introduce students to the concept of a scientific journal club. Journal clubs, which consist of reading and discussing various articles relating to a common concept (in this case, groundbreaking neuroscience research) are seen in a plethora of different places within higher education. Graduate school, medical school, research labs, and higher level courses all are seen to adapt some format of a journal club within them. The Journal Committee of PNS strives to allow participants to gain these transferable skills earlier on as a way to promote excellence when these concepts reappear later in their academic careers.
