Internal Medicine Monthly Research Conference
Since 2012, the Department of Internal Medicine has conducted a monthly research conference over the lunch hour to highlight new research or “grant in development” projects from our faculty.
The audience for these talks is department faculty and trainees with a broad research interest, covering clinical, basic and population health topics.
These monthly seminars allow for faculty to share their research, gain feedback, and further build relationships and potential collaborations with other individuals within the department.
