About Resident Research Day
The William E. Booth Research Day, which began in 2012, provides a supportive forum for residents from all seven MSM residency programs to present their research activities on a competitive basis. This event is named in honor of William E. Booth, MSM’s first Director of Graduate Medical Education and a strong advocate for resident education.
The objectives of this event are to:
