Message from the 2010 WRMRF Chair

Jacob Hogue, M.D.

University of California San Francisco, Division of Genetics

Thank you for your interest in the Western Resident Medical Research Forum (WRMRF).  Our forum provides an opportunity for residents to share their research and to develop lasting professional relationships with others interested in careers in academic medicine.   

We are looking forward to continuing the tradition of excellence that has come to represent the WRMRF at our 10th Annual Meeting, again held in conjunction with other societies of the Western Region in the beautiful coastal cities of Carmel and Monterey, California.  As part of this meeting, the WRMRF will hold its Residents’ Forum on Saturday, January 30.  This forum will include presentations by residents describing their original research with a $500 prize for the best presentations.  This will be followed by the Residents’ Luncheon and Panel with an address by Dr. Bruce Blumberg, former Director of Graduate Medical Education for Northern California Kaiser Permanente, and a residency panel discussion, desgned to allow students an opportunity to ask questions of current residents.  We hope that you all are able to attend the meeting as it promises to be an exciting and enlightening day.  I look forward to seeing everyone in January!
