Resident Research Night - Poster Presentation

Resident Research Night will be held from 5-7 p.m. on May 4 in the Searle Center. Please sign up to display and present your poster, if you have presented your research, QI project or case vignettes at a local or National scientific meeting (e.g. NC ACP or subspecialty society meetings) or if you published a manuscript of your work during residency.

This event is an excellent opportunity for you to showcase your scholarly activities, interact with your colleagues and DoM faculty, and have fun at the same time during the reception.

You can drop off your poster in the MedRes office and we will hang it for you on May 4th prior to the presentations at 5 p.m. 

If you need to have a new poster printed, our office will help you with this. Please email Tia for any assistance (thank you Tia!!).

There will be best poster selections (research and Qi project) by the Chief residents and award presentations.

 

Duke Clinical Research Day - May 18 - Poster Presentation

Residents are encouraged to submit an abstract of your poster by April 14 and participate during the poster presentation event on May 18 at Trent Semans Center 6th floor.

The residency office will help to print your posters and we will hang them on the display boards on May 18 for you until you can come in for poster judging. Please let us know how our Program can help you in any other way.
