The oral presentations were only part of the day-long event that highlights the research of graduate and postgraduate students residents, and even faculty and staff, from throughout USF Health, as well as from across the USF campus.
Nearly 200 posters representing the work of these up-and-coming researchers filled bulletin boards that lined the Rotunda and College of Nursing foyer. Judges made their rounds to each presentation, asking the lead researchers to further explain their methods, results and conclusions before deciding on the award-worthy entrants.
The oral sessions at the beginning of the day showcased the outstanding work of eight researchers. From the College of Medicine: Jesse Arbuckle (PhD student), Dana Cruite (first-year medical student), Christina Drenberg (PhD student), Swathy Kolli, MD (resident), and Derrick Rowe (PhD student).
From the College of Nursing: Natalia Saunders (PhD student).
And from the College of Public Health: Natalie Hernandez (PhD student), and Matthew Tucker (PhD student).
