2011-2013 Department of Medicine 13 Spotlight The Department of Medicine held their First Annual Internal Medicine Resident QI Grand Rounds and Poster Exhibit on June 14, 2012. There were 13 resident posters displayed and the five top peer-rated resident QI projects were presented in the Grand Rounds. This was so successful that we held our second annual Resident QI Grand Rounds and Poster Exhibit on May 30, 2013, which was expanded to allow medical students and fellows to participate. Awards were given to the top three posters and top five peer-reviewed resident QI projects. With great success and involvement, we plan to continue this annual event in 2014.
