EPH Students Present Scientific Posters at Student Research Day
Several EPH students were nominated by faculty to present their research
at the 19th Annual Scientific Poster Session at Student Research Day, held
on
May 10 in the medical school's Hope Building. The event, which highlights
the commitment of the medical school and EPH to student research, featured
a poster session, oral presentation of five student papers, and the annual
Farr Lecture.
Robert J. Alpern, M.D., Dean and Ensign Professor
of Medicine, talks with Bonnie E. Gould Rothberg, M.D., an M.P.H. student
in the class of 2005, about her research at the Student Research Day
poster session, held on May 10. |
A large crowd from Yale-New Haven hospital, the faculties of EPH and the
medical school, and the community turned out to learn about the work of the
approximately seventy students who shared the results of their research in
animated question-and-answer sessions in front of every poster.
