Doc Kieft Summer Research Presentations today

This wonderful program made possible by Dr. Richard Kieft, professor and trustee of the college who left our department with an endowment when he passed away from pancreatic cancer, has been instrumental in our students’ success. We have had 100 students through the program since 2011.

This year we visited U of Iowa to see many alumni thanks to Dr Scott Shaw and Dr Chris Knutson
We also visited Veloxity Labs in Peoria again to see alumni thanks to Dr Mitch Johnson

The QR code for the program is in the comments - talks today from 1-5:10. Come for all or for some and hear the good work that was done.

They are Lauren Branon, Cara Geoghegan, Matthew Jeffers, Lucas Jurasek, Nabil Khan, Rowanne Murrar, Rong Qiu, Julia Sterr and Grant Woodside.

The GHHS recognizes students, residents and faculty who are exemplars of compassionate patient care and who serve as role models, mentors and leaders in medicine. GHHS members are peer-nominated and are the ones that others say they want taking care of their own family.
