The annual Internal Medicine Scholars Symposium showcases research posters and oral presentations, most of which have been supported through the research grant program, Mentors in Medicine (MiM).
This program awards residents up to $5500 to conduct research alongside a WashU faculty mentor, and under guidance from Dr. Brian Gage (MIM Director) and Dr. Seth Eisen (MiM Associate Director). IM residents whose research has not been supported by MiM are also welcome to participate.
