Recently, residents from the Department of Medicine’s J. Willis Hurst Internal Medicine Residency Program participated in the third annual Mr. William Booth and Dr. James Zaidan Grady Resident Research Day, hosted by Grady Memorial Hospital, in collaboration with the Morehouse School of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, and the Grady Foundation. The resident/fellow-focused event was designed to help promote scholarly activity and engagement, strengthen graduate medical education, and advance research in the clinical and health sciences.
Two out of three selected oral presentations were from internal medicine residents. Mohammad Raad, MD, won the first place for his presentation on “Nephropathy and CD4 Lymphocytopenia: when HIV is innocent.” John Haydek, MD, took home the second place for his presentation regarding “Air on the side of caution: an uncommon colonoscopy complication.”
In addition, 34 out of 97 poster presentations were displayed by Emory internal medicine residents, including the first place poster winter – Nabil Sabbak. His presentation was focused on “Structural changes of left atrial appendage ostium after watchman.”
“At Emory, our residents experience unparalleled clinical training in a world-class center for research, public health, and medical education,” says J. Willis Hurst Internal Medicine Residency program director Karen Law, MD. “We are proud of our residents’ impressive accomplishments in research, which are a testament to their capabilities, as well as the richness of Emory’s educational environment and the dedicated support from our faculty.”
