Each year, Resident Research Day provides an opportunity to showcase the innovative, forward-thinking work happening in our research labs. It is so rewarding to see our residents grow as surgeon-scientists. This year’s program, which took place on April 30th, featured 12 oral presentations, two sessions of poster presentations, a lecture by Dr. Rachel Kelz of UPenn, and a dinner at Boar’s Head Resort. Sincere thank you to everyone who took part in organizing this wonderful event!
