Congratulations 2010 Research Day Winners!
Presenter Guidelines: Click here to review guidelines & expectations of presenters.
Research Day began in 1989 and has grown to become a key place for students, residents, and family physicians to present their research to a supportive audience of their peers. Research Day in Pennsylvania provides a unique opportunity for future family physicians to keep practice-based research relevant throughout their career.
This is a unique forum for the entire continuum of family medicine professionals, from medical students to the experienced faculty member, to present original research to a supportive audience of their peers. Participants meet, exchange knowledge, theories, and research data as well as feedback from colleagues. Through the research presentations, poster presentations, plenary sessions & workshops, Research Day supports all participants to refine their presentation techniques, research methodology, and earn continuing medical education credits.
Research Day Objectives:
- to foster research relationships among family physicians, residents, and medical students;
- to encourage practice-based research;
- to foster the development of research and presentation skills; and
- to provide a forum in which physicians, residents, medical students can present their research projects.
Awards
Original presentations are grouped into three categories: medical student projects, resident projects, and practicing physician/faculty/fellow projects. The presentations judged as "best" in each of the categories are awarded a $300 cash prize. In addition, the presenter judged "best overall" is awarded with the Marc Connelley, MD award. This award, initiated in 1991, honors an Academy member and past participant of Research Day, Marc Connelley, MD, who was killed while serving in the Persian Gulf War.
Clinical Education Series (CES)
Research Day has a new home in the Spring CES Conference. This new arrangement, piloted at the 2008 Bedford Springs CES, succeeded in bringing a larger, broader audience of over 200 physicians to participate in the research presentations, the poster presentations, and the plenary speaker. This proved a great opportunity for all attendees, enriching the program immeasurably.
