Three resident physicians in the University of Arizona Internal Medicine Residency Program – Tucson Campus capped off the Research Academic Half Day poster competition three weeks earlier with presentations during the Medicine Grand Rounds on May 16.
They presented—or gave “oral vignettes”—in the order of how their posters placed at Research AHD 2018, which was held April 27 in Kiewit Auditorium with 43 resident posters presented. Each maintained those positions in how their presentations were scored—first, runner-up and second runner-up.
