The Ponce School of Medicine will be hosting its 4th Annual Research Conference on Saturday, June 7th, 2008. The purpose of this conference is to increase local and Island-wide awareness of the research that is being undertaken at our Institution in the Medicine, Basic Sciences, Behavioral Sciences, and Public Health Programs and to stimulate further research endeavors, particularly in the Clinical Sciences. Oral and poster presentations will take place throughout the day and will be divided into four scientific categories: Clinical, Basic, Behavioral, and Public Health. Prizes will be awarded to the best presentations in each category.
