Postgraduate Day Winners

Postgraduate Day 2010 took on a new format this year in that it was actually two days. The interactive poster session was held from 4-6pm the afternoon of Friday, June 4th in the lobby of the Critical Care Center. It made for a nice setting where the presenters were able to discuss their research with the judges and others from our research community. There were many positive comments about the new format, as well as the opportunities everyone had to converse about the projects. The oral presentations were held on the following Monday morning beginning at 8am. Fifteen papers were presented in the categories of basic science, clinical science and medical education categories. The presenters each did an excellent job sharing the results of their work, and many interesting questions were brought forth by the audience. Awards for the winners in the various categories were presented later that evening and are listed below.
