NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln held its Annual Research Competition on Friday, May 22, 2015. More than 100 residents from seven departments—Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Ob-Gyn, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Surgery and Transitional Year—gave oral power-point presentations and displayed their research on poster boards in a competition for cash awards.
The competition’s judges were from several educational institutions, including Memorial Sloan Kettering, Cornell Medical, NYU and CUNY Hunter College. The event was attended by community leaders, elected officials and local college students.
