ANNUAL DOM RESEARCH DAY
Theme:  Collaborative Research

Research day is an annual celebration of the breadth and depth of research within the Department of Medicine at UVA and beyond.  This "science fair" serves as a vehicle to foster collaborations.  It also provides an opportunity to honor the excellent contribution of faculty in all missions of the Department: Research, Education, Faculty Development, Clinical Care and Administration

Plan now to join us for the Annual DOM Research Day, which will occur on May 30, 2008 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Ballroom and Annex of Alumni Hall.  The day's events include highlights of collaborative research across the Divisions, a juried poster session, and conclude with an awards ceremony and hosted wine reception.
