Geisel School of Medicine’s annual Medical Student Research Poster Night, held on October 22 at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, highlighted the outstanding research efforts of the medical school’s second-year MD students—who shared their findings with faculty, staff, and peers in an engaging evening of scholarship and collaboration.
This year, a total of 82 posters were on display (including some from third- and fourth-year medical students) representing: clinical research, foundational science, medical education science, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and community health science.
“This event reflects our commitment to supporting students’ growth as future physicians, researchers, and scientists, and celebrates our dedication to academic and research excellence as well as exemplary representation of the Geisel community,” says Han Naung Tun, MBBS, MPH, a program specialist with Geisel’s Office of Medical Student Research, which organized the event.

Commenting on his participation in the research poster night, Achilles Gatsonis, a second-year MD-PhD student at Geisel, says, “I think research is a critical facet of medical education. That’s where a lot of innovation and development of new methods comes from. And it’s also a really great way to engage with the community. At Geisel, we’re fortunate to have a lot of different avenues to explore in research as we strive to improve human health.”
