On the second day of the 22nd annual George Washington University (GW) Research Days, School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) students had a chance to show off their work outside the classroom to their peers and the GW community.
“That’s the fun part [of Research Days],” second-year M.D. student Sharjeel Chaudhry said of seeing his classmates’ research projects. “It’s a great way to make a new connection, just from understanding someone’s research and talking with them about it.”
Chaudhry presented his work as a winner of the William H. Beaumont Research Award, as did first-year M.D. students Brendan Campbell and Lauren Jacobs. The new tradition began last year when the editors of Fusion, the William H. Beaumont Medical Research Honor Society’s student-led publication, decided to give students the opportunity to present their research.
In addition, more than 200 SMHS students presented posters at the event.
