Webinar – 2020 Annual Research Symposium

About   |  Opening & Session 1  |  Session 2  | Session 3  | Session 4  | Session 5

The Annual Research Symposium celebrates research in the Department of Surgery at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. It provides an opportunity for residents, fellows and students to present their research to the Department and our Visiting Professor. This year the event included oral and poster presentations, and a lecture by Joseph Woo, MD, Chair of Thoracic Surgery, and Professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
