2013 Research Day Presentation Schedule
2013 Research Day Poster Presentations
Please be sure to review our presenter guidelines for help developing your abstract, presentation, and poster.
Research Day began in 1989 and has grown to become a key place for students, residents, and family physicians to present their research to a supportive audience of their peers. Research Day in Pennsylvania provides a unique opportunity for future family physicians to keep practice-based research relevant throughout their career.
This is a unique forum for the entire continuum of family medicine professionals, from medical students to the experienced faculty member, to present original research to a supportive audience of their peers. Participants meet, exchange knowledge, theories, and research data as well as feedback from colleagues. Through the research presentations, poster presentations, plenary sessions and workshops, Research Day supports all participants to refine their presentation techniques, research methodology, and earn continuing medical education credits.
Research Day objectives:
- To foster research relationships among family physicians, residents, and medical students
- To encourage practice-based research
- To foster the development of research and presentation skills
- To provide a forum in which physicians, residents, and medical students can present their research projects
Awards
Original presentations are grouped into three categories: medical student projects; resident projects; and practicing physician, faculty, and fellow projects. The presentations judged as "best" in each of the categories are awarded a $300 cash prize. In addition, the presenter judged "best overall" is awarded with the Marc Connelley, MD award. This award, initiated in 1991, honors the memory of Academy member and past participant of Research Day, Marc Connelley, MD, who was killed while serving in the Persian Gulf War.

Live CME
Research Day has a new home in the PAFP Live CME Spring Conference.
