Welcome to Gundersen Health System Academic Day 2020
This is our 5th annual event, recognizing and celebrating the academic work that our trainees have completed. We have two categories for submissions: oral presentation and poster presentation. This year, the oral presentations will be live-streamed and the posters will be viewed and judged virtually.
