Internal Medicine's annual research day seeks to promote the discussion of research ideas and accomplishments and encourages professional interaction within the department. All Internal Medicine faculty, staff, residents, fellows and students are invited to present their research or a clinical vignette. Research recently published or presented is welcome. Projects may be in the early stages of development but must be supported by preliminary data. We also encourage submissions from other departments and schools at ECU in areas related to adult medicine. As in the past, presentations will be ten minutes long with a five-minute discussion. Poster sessions will also be held.

Submission Deadline is
Wednesday, March 11th, at 5:00 p.m.
See the links to the left for submission instructions
