If you are a postdoc interested in teaching a “how to” workshop during the next series, please contact Carrie Iwema by e-mail at iwema@pitt.edu. The MBIS works with postdocs to create a workshop that is both a positive teaching experience and instructive to attendees. All postdoc instructors receive feedback and a letter of acknowledgement. Participating postdocs acquire valuable instructional experience while providing a service to our health sciences community.
