60th Anniversary
60th Anniversary of the Senior Scientific Session
Dr. Leon O. Jacobson
In 1946 Dr. Leon O. Jacobson '39, established the Senior Scientific Session to provide senior medical students with a forum in which to present their research. It was Dr. Jacobson’s conviction that no other single demonstration so clearly illustrates the caliber of our graduates and the quality of their education. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the event.
Please join us in the Donnelly Biological Sciences Learning Center from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 4th. Dean James Madara will provide the opening address and the event will be moderated by Dr. Mark J. Ratain, Leon O. Jacobson Professor of Medicine. More than 30 senior students will participate by providing a short presentation of their independent research followed by a brief question and answer session led by their faculty discussant. Four prizes will be awarded by the judges and given to the winning students at the Divisional Academic Ceremony on June 9th.
