Annual Resident Research Day
Throughout the year residents are encouraged to pursue research projects with support and guidance from faculty members. Each year the UF College of Medicine hosts a Research Day that brings all of the college's departments together. Residents and fellows have the opportunity to give an oral presentation and/or a poster presentation on their research projects before a panel of judges and an audience of their peers.
The following list represents our department's contributions to Research Day:
