The Department of Pediatrics sponsored the 8th Annual Pediatrics Medical Student Research Forum on September 3, 2022, at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort in Orlando. This was a national stage, with over 70 students representing 18 states including Puerto Rico. We were impressed by the overall level of platform and poster presentations; many were superb! We hope each student left the forum inspired to better care for children and challenged to make discoveries that will improve our understanding of pediatric illness. We also intensively recruited some future interns to our Pediatric Residency Program!

Our sincerest appreciation to our keynote speaker Rashmin C. Savani, MBChB, Chair of the University of Florida’s Pediatric Department!

This program is sponsored by the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (FCAAP), the University of Florida Department of Pediatrics, Wake Forest Department of Pediatrics, and the Society for Pediatric Research.
