The Annual South Shore University Hospital Research Symposium recognizes the scholarly work completed by residents, fellows, and physicians in relation to improved patient care, quality outcomes, and clinical developments. As preparation, abstracts sent will be vetted by faculty and chosen to present as a poster and oral presentation. Three top posters will be awarded as overall 1st place winner, and two honorable mentions. It is our sincere hope that as South Shore University Hospital continues to grow as an academic institution, that we continue to foster scholarly activity.
