College of Medicine Research Forum: Abstract Submissions Due Monday, Nov. 1

Participants in last year's COM Research Forum

The 4th annual University of South Alabama College of Medicine Research Forum will be held Nov. 19, 2010, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at USA's Main Library. The deadline for abstract submission is Nov. 1, 2010.

"The Research Forum puts a spotlight on the exciting biomedical research being done in the USA College of Medicine and fosters interactions among faculty, labs and the entire College of Medicine community," said Dr. Joseph Brewer, associate professor of microbiology at USA and member of the Research Forum Committee.

Participants of the Research Forum will present their work in posters and/or short talks.

“Graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and clinical fellows are especially encouraged to present their work in the Research Forum,” Dr. Brewer said. “This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience in sharing research findings and ideas with others. Certainly, for many careers in the biomedical sciences, effective communication skills are essential."
