The 34th Annual Evans Department of Medicine Research Days celebrated and showcased the research activities of the department’s faculty, trainees and researchers. This year’s event featured the 2nd year of the Poster Blitz, 24 3-minute oral presentations of some of this year’s most exciting submissions. The poster session featured 97 presentations, a record high for the event, and included digital poster displays in the newly remodeled entry lounge to the Hiebert Ball Room.

The Gala reception celebrated trainee winners of the Oral Presentations and Poster Session, and honored faculty recipients of the department’s annual awards. This year’s event saw the inaugural ARC Leadership Award presented by the Evans Center for Interdisciplinary Biomedical research and the inaugural David Aaron Freed award in memory of Aaron’s legacy of compassion and excellence.

Thank you to all who helped make this year’s event so special!
