The Wayne State University School of Medicine and its Department of Internal Medicine were well represented at the American College of Physicians Michigan Chapter's annual Resident's Day on May 22.

The posters of six WSU medical students were selected for presentation at the meeting.

"This meeting has become quite competitive," said Diane Levine, M.D., F.A.C.P., associate professor of Internal Medicine and vice chair for Education in that department. "These students are really impressive. They competed against residents for acceptance of their presentations."

Medical students whose posters were presented include:

Catherine Edgell, "Clostridium Difficile Prevalence in Patients with Fecal Management Systems."

Taneev Escamilla, "Pregnancy in Simultaneous Kidney Pancreas Transplant Recipients: Is it Worth the Risk?"

Marcella Kaddoura, "Can Nanog Activity Identify Aggressive Breast Cancer Stem Cell Populations?"
