A half-day workshop at CORD Academic Assembly
A series of online lectures and discussions occurring every other month throughout the year
Regular (minimum monthly) contact with the CORD mentor
Membership in the CORD Resilience Committee
Presentation of mini-fellowship research or innovations at the poster session. (must submit the abstract and be accepted)
