The Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Science's Outreach Office, in collaboration with the Cornell Institute for Biology Teachers (CIBT) (based at Cornell University in Ithaca) organizes four professional development workshops for secondary science/biology teachers annually. The Outreach Office is funded by a generous grant from the Washington Mutual Foundation.

The goal of the program is to update the knowledge of science/biology teachers in topics related to biomedical science. The program provides classroom lab exercises and connects the graduate school's faculty with local secondary school teachers and students.
