CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – Students and residents of Campbell Medicine presented 16 of 44 research presentations at the 7th Annual Camp LeJeune Medical Research Symposium May 25-26, 2017.
Karl Woodard and Sarah Johns, both Health Professions Scholars in the United States Navy, were awarded second place for their research case report poster presentation. Campbell medical student, Jared Fernandez, placed first with a poster presentation about clinical investigation and second with a podium presentation.
“The research behind my podium presentation, Effect of Variable Voltage within the Modified Electronic Cigarette, is ongoing, as I am collaborating with a manufacturer in San Diego, CA to examine these effects within a chemistry manufacturing environment,” said Fernandez. “It was great to see where I was as a first-year medical student compared to students in residency programs.”
The award winners were among 16 Campbell University medical students and residents from Campbell affiliate hospitals.
“Our research has direct relevance to rescue protocol in the military and emergency medical fields. It was exciting to participate in a professional collaboration between CUSOM and the Navy,” said second-year medical student Karl Woodward. The presentation was so well received that they were encouraged to present this material at conferences held by the Special Operations Medical Association (SOMA) and EMS World. Eventually, Woodward plans to publish the material in ophthalmic and emergency medicine journals.
