Please plan to join us for our first celebration of clinical science at Duke University School of Medicine.

When: Saturday, March 3, 2012 8:30am-1:00pm.

Where: Bay 7 at the American Tobacco Campus (Click here for directions to the location)

This exciting, half-day event, which is modeled after our highly successful Basic Science Day, will be a wonderful opportunity to learn about the scope and breadth of clinical research taking place across the medical campus.  You will hear about the advances being made in each clinical department, and have the opportunity to engage in brief discussions following each presentation. 
Posters will be presented by residents and fellows, and prizes will be awarded.
