More than a dozen CCLCM students were invited to share their research at the Martha L. and Irwin H. Lepow Medical Student Research Day, which was held virtually on April 21. This annual event recognizes the research performed by medical students at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine University Program and College Program (Lerner College of Medicine (CCLCM)).
Two CCLCM students presented Full/Rapid Talk Presentations, and 14 others presented their research posters, three of whom were chosen by the faculty to win an award.
Pamela B. Davis, MD, PhD, Dean Emerita of the CWRU School of Medicine, served as the plenary speaker. Dr. Davis presented “One for the Record Books: The Conquest of Cystic Fibrosis.”
