2025 Annual Neurology Resident Research Day
Resident Research Day is held each year in May. At this event, residents have the opportunity to present their completed research projects. Three residents conduct platform presentations of their work during Grand Rounds. Afterward, there is a poster session luncheon for residents and fellows. Each participant gives a brief overview of their project, and the audience has the opportunity to ask questions. Awards are given for the best platform and poster presentations. Residents are further encouraged to submit their final projects for presentation at meetings and publication.
