The UAB School of Medicine hosted its 2021 Dale J. Benos Medical Student Research Day Sept. 13-14.
Medical Student Research Day celebrates the research accomplishments of medical students and provides them with the opportunity to present their projects to fellow students and faculty. The day consisted of oral and poster presentations by students enrolled in the M.D., M.D/MPH, M.D./MS, M.D/MBA, and M.D./Ph.D. programs.
This year, the presentations were made via Zoom on Sept. 13, and the student research posters hung in Volker Hall Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 14.
