This gap can be especially pronounced with graduate students, yet relatively little researchand innovation has targeted this key population. Here we present two initiatives to improve thecommunication skills of graduate students: a department-level “Communication Lab” using peertutors, and a for-credit communication course. Each approach is analyzed for pedagogical advan-tages, resource intensiveness, and general utility to the department. We conclude that the Commu-nication Lab model is an overall effective resource for reaching a large number of students in a waythat is cost-effective per-student
