学生 from Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine once again had a strong showing at Oakland University’s annual showcase of graduate research.

The OU Graduate Student and Office of 研究 Administration hosted the 9th Annual Graduate Student 研究 Conference on April 5.

关于 25 OUWB medical students joined others from across various OU schools to give oral and poster presentations on their work. OUWB students gave eight oral and 17 poster presentations.

The event started with introductions by Brandy Randall, Ph.D., dean, Graduate School, and professor, Psychology, and David Stone, Ph.D., vice president, 研究, and professor, Health Sciences and Philosophy.

Stone told the crowd that they were proud of the students’ work, and that the students should always seek new ideas and step out of their comfort zones.

“Following the method can seem like the best and safest choice, 但记住这是一个选择,斯通说.

主讲人玛莎·皮斯利·莱文,m.s.D., 副教授, 精神病学与人文学科, 宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院, told the crowd about her personal struggles with “Imposter Syndrome” and how she found confidence and collaboration in navigating obstacles when pursuing her passion.

“Don't let self-doubt hold you back, collaborate, and watch for opportunities to take them. If a door closes don't stand staring at it, look for that other door. Your path may be hard at times but if you’re resilient, 找到你的激情,找到你的动力,莱文说.

Following the keynote, students gave oral presentations.
