This week, we had the pleasure of celebrating our third-year students and recognizing all of their hard work and accomplishments the past three years.

On Tuesday, our third-year students presented their Grand Rounds posters during the annual poster walk. Faculty and fellow students had the opportunity to explore their research and ask questions.

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them and will miss them dearly. We wish them continued success and the very best as they begin their upcoming rotations.
