Anesthesiology residents and fellows presented their research – including both poster and oral formats – at the sixth annual Graduate Medical Education Research Symposium on Monday, April 22.
The symposium provides the opportunity for house officers to present their research in all areas, including clinical outcomes, basic science, education, business, health policy and humanities.
“We are very fortunate to have lots of incredible opportunities for our medical students, residents, fellows and faculty to get involved in research at UNMC and to have this local forum to share our projects with each other,” said Andrea Dutoit, MD, residency program director.
Peter Ricci Pellegrino, MD, PhD, received the Best Oral Presentation award in his session for his presentation on “Sympathetic Vasomotion Correlates With the Magnitude of Hemorrhage in Conscious Rabbits.” Dr. Pellegrino said the event is a great showcase of the well-rounded training that UNMC house officers receive, emphasizing the research efforts that complement the clinical focus.
Chandra Are, MBBS, the UNMC College of Medicine’s associate dean of Graduate Medical Education, said close to 120 research abstracts were presented at the event, nearly 50 more than when the symposium first premiered in 2018.
