Members from all levels of the UW Department of Radiology celebrated exceptional research conducted by trainees and medical students at the annual Zachary Clark Radiology Research Symposium on Saturday, April 27.
The morning kicked off with the opportunity for colleagues to connect over a light breakfast. Department Chair Scott Reeder, MD, PhD welcomed attendees and spoke of the high importance the department places on research, especially in the early stages of one’s career.
Following the opening remarks by Dr. Reeder, fellows; residents; and medical students alike delivered nine oral presentations on topics ranging from the utilization of PET/MRI to pinpoint pain generators to changes in patients’ body composition as a result of Semaglutide use. Allison Grayev, MD and Giuseppe Toia, MD moderated the presentations. Attendees were actively engaged with the presenters; inquiring about the results of the studies conducted and possible next steps for the research projects.
Following a break for viewing electronic exhibits, Tessa Cook, MD, PhD delivered the keynote address “Mentorship, Sponsorship, and Coaching: My Secrets to Success in Imaging Informatics.” Dr. Cook’s address included an inspiring tale of how her mentors helped shape her career, insight into her approach to mentorship, and a captivating look into the field of imaging informatics.
The symposium came to a close with the presentation for best oral presentations and electronic exhibits. Oral presentations were judged by Edward Lawrence, MD, PhD; Prashant Nagpal, MD; and Timothy Ziemlewicz, MD. Teresa Chapman, MD; Andrew Ross, MD; and Michael Veronesi, MD, PhD judged the electronic exhibits.
