Educational Program A primary goal of the NIC@HMS is to provide training in basic and advanced light microscopy techniques. The NIC@HMS is involved in graduate level courses available to students of Harvard Medical School. In addition, the NIC@HMS offers 1-day workshop courses that are open to members of academic or other non-profit institutions at no charge. (For rates for commercial institutions, please contact Jennifer Waters). The workshop courses are encouraged but NOT required for using the microscopes in the NIC@HMS. If you want to use the NIC@HMS microscopes, please fill out the online request for training. If you want to take a workshop course, fill out the online application for a course. The NIC@HMS currently offers at least one workshop course per month. Courses are scheduled 2-3 weeks in advance. WORKSHOP COURSE TOPICS:
We keep an ongoing waitlist for all courses. Click here for the ONLINE APPLICATION for a course or to be put on the wait list for future courses. If we cannot fill a course from the waitlist then we will advertise. To receive first notification of new courses, please join the NIC@HMS microscopy listserv.
