Journal Club

Journal Club is a 1.5-hour group meeting where fellows volunteer to present one or more articles, papers, or studies from academic literature within their field or other academic and scientific areas of interest. Presentation of the material is followed by group discussion in which students are challenged to critically evaluate and analyze the material. In addition, students may present supplemental material to further demonstrate the breadth and context of the topic for themselves and students outside their discipline. Journal Club is facilitated by Robert H. Brook, M.D., Sc.D. and various guest faculty.

Fellows sign up to present and lead discussion of a current article/issue of their choosing. Summer articles are set for first year presenters. Presenters must provide their article to Bob Brook and NCSP staff at least 1 week prior to the meeting date for review and distribution.

Fellows in all years are strongly encouraged to lead at least one session per year

Writing Club

Writing Club is a 1.5-hour group meeting where fellows can submit papers, manuscripts, book chapters, or any other writing piece in progress for peer, faculty, and mentor feedback.

Pod Meetings

NCSP Scholars & Faculty are divided into three small pod groups that will meet monthly to discuss program updates, project progress, and career development. Pod meetings are a chance for fellows and faculty to meet and discuss in a smaller group setting. Attendance to these meetings is a program expectation.

All Scholar Meetings

All Scholar Meetings take place once a month for NCSP Program Directors and fellows to share administrative updates, action items, upcoming due dates, and individual scholar updates. Attendance to these meetings is a program expectation.

Leadership Seminars

Leadership seminars take place at least once a month, as scholars will develop their leadership skills and style through the "Solving For Why" curriculum, which focuses on introspection of personal values, strengths, and other aspects of leadership that are relevant in the fellow's life and career trajectory. In addition, influential and accomplished speakers are brought in to give special seminars to scholars on an ad hoc basis.

Past speakers have included:

• Daniel Palestrant (Founder and CEO, Par8o)
• Alan Weiner (author of “So Smart But…: How Intelligent People Lose Credibility- and How They Can Get It Back.”)
• Harlan Levine (CEO, City of Hope)
