Abstract Judging & Selection Process

  • A judging committee will be appointed by the Research Day Committee to review all original research.
  • A separate judging committee will review all case reports for the poster and case report competition.

  • The committee will select the following finalists for oral presentations on Research Day:
  • Top 3 PGY 1-3, PGY 4-8 and Research Resident original research abstracts (3 each)
  • House staff who are not selected as finalists for oral presentations will be asked to submit posters to be displayed during Research Week. The 9 finalists may not submit posters on the same topic as their oral presentation.
