Please review the descriptions of the other Lightning Talks during this breakout session:

Are Remote and in Person Experiences Comparable for Interprofessional Education? an Analysis of Case Conference Modalities Student-team Delivered Diabetes Education

Lightning Talk Description: The annual Graduate Research Education and Technology (GREAT) Symposium highlights major focus areas in biomedical and health sciences while allowing students and trainees to present individual research and engage with OUHSC's diverse campus community, comprised of 7 distinct colleges and numerous disciplines. In 2021, the GREAT symposium was expanded to include the interdisciplinary GREAT Debate.

For this event, 2 teams comprised of students from professional and graduate research programs work to build and defend an argument in favor of or against a pre-selected topic. In preparing for this event, each team delegates roles and responsibilities amongst its members, who then research the topic, build their argument, and prepare their defense. After several weeks of preparation, the 2 teams square off for the GREAT Debate in front of a live audience.

This event emphasizes the importance of collaboration, communication, and Interprofessional education. It provides a unique opportunity for learners from diverse programs and backgrounds to engage and share individual perspectives, while also developing a big picture view and broader understanding of prominent topics in the biomedical research and healthcare arenas. We have hosted 3 GREAT Debates to date, all of which have been well attended and highly regarded. We look forward to discussing outcomes from the GREAT Debate, including participant perspectives and feedback, as well as the continuation of this interdisciplinary event and opportunities to improve and expand going forward.
