Description: If you are interested in obtaining a grant or publishing scholarly work, at some point, you must reckon with the peer review system.  Peer review has its loud advocates and its even louder detractors.  And, as is typical in these situations, both sides make valid observations.  It is, no doubt, an imperfect system - but one that has served on more than a few occasions to encourage and promote high quality science that has impacted our knowledge and welfare.

RCR course is supported by the HMS Center for Bioethics | Course Directors: Sadath A. Sayeed, MD, JD and James Gould, PhD
RCR is required for ALL HMS/HSDM postdocs.
