Keep on Learning: Join Us for Our Professional Seminars

We believe that bringing in scientific experts from around the region, nation, and the globe benefits our faculty and students at IGS, as well as our colleagues throughout the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM), University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), and colleagues from around the country and world. That's why we always offer both in person and Zoom connections so learning can take place from any location. 

Tune in here to see our upcoming seminars.
