Winners Announced at M3 Case Report Symposium

The USA College of Medicine class of 2019 participates in the M3 Case Report Symposium.

The University of South Alabama College of Medicine held its annual M3 Case Report Symposium June 7, 2018, at the Strada Patient Care Center.

The symposium provided rising fourth-year medical students the opportunity to present novel, rare or meaningful case studies observed during their third-year rotations to faculty, residents and peers in the form of poster presentations. The symposium also gave students the opportunity to showcase independent projects.

This year's winners were:

• 1st place - Jonathon Whitehead and William Teachey: "Humeroulnar Gap (HUG) Sign of Pediatric Olecranon Osteochondral Flap Fracture"
• 2nd place - William Gambla: "Bartonella henselae Neuroretinitis"
• 3rd place - Kristen Smith: "A Case of Successful VBAC After Unknown Uterine Incision"

The case reports were judged based on originality, strength of conclusions, quality of references, overall appearance, organization and topic. Judges for the symposium were Dr. Anne-Marie Kaulfers, associate professor of endocrinology; Dr. J. Spencer Liles, assistant professor of surgery; and Dr. Charles Harmon, assistant professor of neonatology.

Medical student organizers of the event were Audrey Murphy, Matthew Robson and Kristen Smith.
