Annual Events
Academic Evening
Our annual Academic Evening takes place every year in late May in the reception area and auditorium of the Milstein Heart Center and is coordinated by Dr. Robert Sladen and Dr. Charles Emala. It is an opportunity for departmental residents, fellows, medical students, postdoctoral students, and research associates to present their research and academic work to their colleagues and the faculty. All submitted abstracts are presented as posters in one of three categories: basic science research, clinical research, or case reports. A faculty selection committee ranks the top two basic science research and clinical research abstracts as well as the best case report, all of which are presented in oral form at the end of the evening. An invited distinguished guest judge selects first- and second-place awards.
