2009 Medical Student Research Symposium

M.D./Ph.D. student Katie Bullinger (above) discusses data with poster judges Larry Ream, Ph.D., and Robert Putnam, Ph.D., at the 2009 Medical Student Research Symposium at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. Bullinger won awards for Best Overall Poster and Best Presentation at the May 1 event held in White Hall on the WSU main campus.

The symposium, the first of its kind at Wright State, was organized by the Research Club to provide an opportunity for medical students to share their research with faculty, community physicians, residents and other students. The Research Club plans to make the symposium an annual event. See more photos. [All photos by Will Jones/WSU Center for Teaching and Learning]
