PDS2023WEBThe Pediatric Scholarship Day Committee is thrilled to say that the 8th annual event was a great success! 

There were 49 abstracts submitted from 43 people, who presented exciting and fascinating research. It was very refreshing to be able to see everyone back live and in person for the oral presentations and the highly attended Poster Reception.  

Our guest speaker Jennifer Sucre, M.D., associate professor of neonatology at Vanderbilt University, gave a wonderful and engaging lecture during Grand Rounds. Dr. Sucre discussed 4-dimensional view of alveologenesis.

Congratulations to all the Best Abstract authors!

Jose Cardenas, M.D., fellow in the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Program, who presented in Case Reports.

Zaki Yazdi, M.D., fellow in the Neonatology Program, who presented in Clinical Science Research.

Ahmed Abdelgawad, research trainee in the Division of Neonatology, who presented in Basic Science Research.

Charli Cohen, M.D., PGY-3 in the Pediatric Residency Program, who presented in Quality Improvement/Patient Safety/Other. 

We are excited for Pediatric Scholarship Day to continue to grow each year, and we are looking so forward to seeing everyone next year!
