2019 Williams ACP Medical Student Conference Recap

    The Chapter would like to share with you how much we appreciated all of our Faculty and CRAB members who participated in the Williams Student Conference which took place on Saturday, March 2. We had over 100 students registered for this event, 7 student teams and 24 poster presenters in research and clinical vignette divisions.  Please enjoy some photos of the event.

    We would not be able to host this, however, without the support of our Faculty and CRAB members. Special kudos to the CRAB chairs and members: Valentina Baez, MD,  Kaveh Bookani, MD (MedStar Harbor), Atul Matta, MBBS (SAH), Sam Kant, MD and Jon Gray, MD (UMMC Midtown).

    This year, the event that we envisioned as a CRAB sponsored program really occurred and we cannot thank CRAB enough for making it happen. We would like to share with you some of our winners' names. Congratulations to all!
