| Residents and medical students attend the Southern Society for Clinical Investigation regional meeting in New Orleans. |
The SSCI is a regional academic society dedicated to the advancement of medically related research with a major focus on encouraging students and post-graduate trainees (residents and fellows) to enter academic medicine and to support junior faculty success in clinical investigation.
Twenty-seven students and residents made presentations during the event hosted by Tulane University Health Sciences Center for Continuing Education.
“Our residents' annual participation at SRM not only highlights their enthusiasm for scholarly work and the strong support from our faculty, but also reaffirms our pride in seeing them excel alongside the best from other institutions,” said Haidee Custodio, M.D., a professor of pediatrics at the Whiddon College of Medicine, and director of the pediatrics residency program at USA Health.
Presenting authors included medical students Madeline Wing, Sachi Patel and Justine Magadia. Also presenting were pediatrics residents Carey Johnson, M.D.; Maya Augustine, M.D.; Jakarinya Mangalamoorthy, M.D.; Audrey Gunn, D.O.; Jordan Cooper, M.D.; Noor Buttar, M.D.; Shirisha Reddy Sandadi, M.D.; Nitheesha Alapati, M.D.; Juan Carlos Hernandez, M.D.; Tania Raygoza, M.D.; Iboro Udoete, M.D.; Shilpa Joseph, M.D.; Eru Sujakhu, M.D.; Noor Ibrahim, M.D.; Abdulrahman Bader, M.D.; Olumayowa Sholola, M.D.; Ana Flores, M.D.; Saswat Jha, M.D.; Erika Morales, M.D.; Chimeremeze Ndubuoke, M.D.; Bijay Shrestha, M.D.; Laxman Aryal, M.D.; Maria Jose Vera Sanchez, M.D.; and internal medicine resident Jose M. Acevedo Echevarria, M.D.
The Southern Regional Meeting provides the platform and forum for collaborative interdisciplinary research and clinical applications. Physicians and healthcare professionals examine the most recent research findings in medicine to determine and inform future research projects based on the analysis of emerging research and applications for clinical practice.
Submitting, presenting, defending and being open to collaborative interaction among peers is an important part of academic medicine training. The main goal of the Southern Regional Meeting is to bring together researchers, clinicians, and students to review current research and its impact on the future of clinical investigation and medical care.
