Research Days Showcase Breadth and Depth of Student Experience

On the second day of the 22nd annual George Washington University (GW) Research Days, School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) students had a chance to show off their work outside the classroom to their peers and the GW community.

“That’s the fun part [of Research Days],” second-year M.D. student Sharjeel Chaudhry said of seeing his classmates’ research projects. “It’s a great way to make a new connection, just from understanding someone’s research and talking with them about it.”

Chaudhry presented his work as a winner of the William H. Beaumont Research Award, as did first-year M.D. students Brendan Campbell and Lauren Jacobs. The new tradition began last year when the editors of Fusion, the William H. Beaumont Medical Research Honor Society’s student-led publication, decided to give students the opportunity to present their research.

In addition, more than 200 SMHS students presented posters at the event.
