Gold Humanism Honor Society/Women in Medicine Summit 2020: “Professionalism Advocacy: Beyond the Bedside”; Thursday, April 16, 12N – 4PM, WVU Building 4th Floor.

Join our WVU-Charleston GHHS students and faculty for an informative and interactive Workshop session, including national, statewide and local Advocacy experts. Look for details soon

WVU/CAMC Research Day is Tuesday, April 21, 2020. Just a reminder that Research Day abstracts are due on February 7th. If you go on CAMNet, locate Education and go to GME you will find the portal for submission of an abstract. Keep in mind that an individual can only submit one abstract and that he or she must be present on research day to make the presentation. Another point to keep in mind – if a study has already been presented at a regional or national meeting the material cannot be presented at research day. Your review team will be looking for those during the selection process. Another piece of advice - recommend, if you can, that case studies be unique. The review team takes that into account when making selections.
