Eats, Streets, and bEEts:
A New Model Conference aimed at Early Career Investigators and Patient Communication
In the current moment, a mixture of disinformation, gaps in science and healthcare communication, and varying food quality have met massive advances in our understanding of how diet impacts health. To further develop the communication skills of our trainees, highlight current work from our brilliant group of future pediatricians and pediatric specialists, and empower our community to use this new wealth of information, SUNY Downstate will be hosting a pediatric nutrition conference aimed at trainee physicians and physicians-in-training, with the goal of driving interest in research, research communication skills, and medical communication skills. All abstracts will have podium presentations, registration is free, submission is free, just come and hang out!
