On behalf of the DMC GME Office, I am pleased to announce the winners of the DMC’s 13^th Annual GME Quality Education and Safe Systems Training (QuESST) Research Competition! This year, QuESST included separate competitions highlighting Quality Improvement and Research projects. In total, 49 residents and fellows presented their projects through voice-over recordings.

DMC GME QuESST 2024 Presentations

Thank you to all of the residents and fellows who contributed their work to QuESST and to all of the faculty supervisors, research coordinators, and department staff that support scholarly activity at the DMC! I would also like to give a special thank you to our volunteer faculty judges. Without their time, effort, and expertise, we could not conduct this special event.
