The 2013 Rogers Award Finalists Announced at Medicine Grand Rounds

(L to R): Drs. Andrew Schafer, Joseph Krepp, Kira Ryskina, Timothy Glew, Parag Goyal, and Holly Andersen

 

Established in 1995, the David E. Rogers Memorial Research Award encourages medical residents to get involved in investigative research within internal medicine and its specialties. Each year, senior medical residents submit research abstracts, and four finalists are chosen to present their work during medical grand rounds.

The award was founded and is actively chaired by Holly S. Andersen, MD, Director of Education and Outreach at The Ronald O. Perelman Heart Institute and is funded by the Holly Andersen Heart Foundation. This year 30 abstracts were reviewed before these four below were selected for oral presentation.
