Residents hold their own research day

For a couple of hours on May 29, the Fitkin Amphitheater resembled the Hope Building on Student Research Day—with physicians clustered around posters as younger doctors explained their research. The event was the first Research in Residency Day, which the Department of Internal Medicine intends to make an annual event. Four students presented posters and two others made oral presentations. Topics included cholesterol transport mechanisms, myocardial infarctions among the elderly and risk factors for heart disease in postmenopausal women.
