Medical Student Abstract Poster Competition
Ohio medical students were recently invited to submit an abstract for poster presentation. This was an excellent opportunity for students to become involved in OSMA's Annual Meeting and to enhance their reputation both within and outside their institution—and to network with physicians about policy, research, career interests and more.
Thank you to Jennifer Wayland, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine for managing the poster competition process, and to the judges who volunteered their time and expertise. We were very excited to receive 58 applications, a huge increase over the 34 applications last year. Many excellent applications were received and it was very difficult to select the 18 for presentation.
