“Each year the Colloquium provides an important platform for members of the University’s faculty, residents, fellows and health sciences students not only to present the results of their studies, but an opportunity to share their findings and best practices with peers and faculty,” states Vincent A. DeBari, PhD, Professor of Medicine and Chairman, Research Committee. “MDAdvantage is demonstrating their foresight in their understanding of the need for healthcare research. We commend them for their continued commitment to improving medical care in our state.”
