The 2024 Graduate Medical Education Research Symposium was held in April, drawing crowds as UNMC residents and fellows displayed their research posters and gave oral presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNMC College of Medicine Dean Bradley Britigan, MD, could be seen roaming through the event, speaking with many poster presenters.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cIt is always gratifying to see the innovative and creative research produced by our house officers,\u201d Dr. Britigan said. \u201cI congratulate them, and our Office of Graduate Medical Education, on an impressive event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House officers presented their research in areas such as clinical outcomes, basic science, education, business, health policy and humanities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were nearly 120 research abstracts \u2013 in both oral and poster formats \u2013 presented at the event, almost 40% more than when the symposium first premiered in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chandra Are, MBBS, associate dean for graduate medical education, said he was excited to see the research work produced by the house officers \u2013 who, he pointed out, are well-positioned to develop promising research avenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing in the trenches of patient care, house officers have a reliable \u2018finger on the pulse\u2019 to produce solid, clinically relevant ideas for research with near-term benefits,\u201d Dr. Are said. \u201cThe sixth annual GME Research Symposium provided a valuable forum to highlight these projects. We could not be prouder of our residents and fellows, who went above and beyond patient care to generate such high-quality research projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
