The University of South Alabama College of Medicine will present its second annual Case Report Symposium on Friday, June 9, 2017, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the first floor conference room at the Strada Patient Care Center.

The USA College of Medicine Case Report Symposium will feature interesting and unique cases observed by the College of Medicine Class of 2018 during their third-year clerkship rotations. Students will present their findings via poster presentation. Awards will be given for the best presentations and most interesting cases.

“The symposium provides students with a chance to not only discuss topics of interest in their desired field of medicine, but also encourages students to become more active in research experiences,” said Alex Wiles, a rising fourth-year student at the USA College of Medicine. “We are excited for the event and are looking forward to showcasing our third-year experiences to faculty, guests and fellow students.”

Admission is free to the public. The Strada Patient Care Center is located at 1601 Center St. For more information, contact Alex Wiles at caw807@jagmail.southalabama.edu.
