The 2023 Twelfth Annual DOIM Research Symposium was held on March 29-March 30, 2023.

The Research Governance Committee Subcommittee co- leads Drs. Heather Duncan and Khurram Bari, along with Drs. John Byrd, Chair, Department of Internal Medicine, Carl Fichtenbaum, Vice Chair for Clinical Research and Sakthivel Sadayappan, Vice Chair for Basic Research, thank all who participated or attended. Special thanks to our Grand Rounds presenter John Byrd, MD, FACP, Gordon and Helen Taylor Professor of Medicine, Chair of Internal Medicine

We recognize the efforts of our trainees and their mentors in presenting excellent research posters and thank the faculty who served as judges. The faculty judges are an integral to the success of this event. In addition, we extend thanks to the post doctorate judges, the administrative team, the ARS team and the entire department for supporting the symposium and helping the department to provide an enriching experience for all.

This year, trainees presented 31 posters in basic and clinical research, as well as clinical case reports. Additionally, 32 faculty volunteered to judge the trainee posters. 

Video recordings of Rapid Fire talks and Grand Rounds will be available next week to the general public.   In addition, the symposium photos will be released to the IM Chairs office and Division Directors. 

The winning presentations in the basic research, clinical research, and clinical case report categories for trainee are listed below.
