Our organization strives to offer the student body an informative view into the modern advances in medicine. Clinicians will present a focused perspective on how medical treatments and technology have changed since they began practicing, and what changes they anticipate in the future. These changes may be evaluated by impact on patient outcome, their effect on the role of the physician, and their implications in specialty development. Presenters who are actively participating in research may additionally share their most recent findings and their clinical correlations. The presentations will be correlated with a range of topics encompassing the present medical field, including the rapidly evolving technology and methods of surgery, as well as the most recent pharmacological, genetic, and molecular medicine developments shaping a majority of patient treatment today. We hope that through these presentations, students may be provided insight into current movements within medicine and may better understand how these movements are shaping the environment in their future specialties of interest.
