If you are doing your doctorate on a healthcare science topic, we cordially invite you to our PhD student colloquium on healthcare research.
Chair: The colloquium is led by Prof. Dr. Dr. Stephanie Stiel and is aimed at all doctoral students at the MHH whose doctoral projects are related to health services research.
Dates: The sessions take place online via Microsoft Teams every second Tuesday of the month from 16:00 to 17:30. A list with the specific dates and the dial-in link can be found here.
Procedure: In each session, all participants briefly report on the current status and any challenges of their doctoral project. In addition, there will be one detailed presentation of a doctoral project per session (e.g. [interim] results or sample presentations for disputations). Scientists experienced in healthcare research methods are available to answer questions and provide feedback. In addition, training courses on topics relevant to doctoral studies (e.g. methods, scientific writing, etc.) take place at irregular intervals.
Registration: If you are interested in participating and/or would like to make a contribution yourself, please contact prof-versfo-allpallmed@mh-hannover.de. We will add you to our mailing list, through which you will receive dates, dial-in links and further information.
