William P. Kanto Pediatric Resident Research Award

Each academic year, four third year residents are chosen to formally present their Scholarly Project on Resident Research Day. The Scholarly Activity oversight committee will then choose the first and second place recipients. Awards are presented at the annual Resident's Hail and Farewell Reception in late June. All other third year residents have the opportunity to present their Scholarly Project as a Poster Presentation on Resident Research Day.
