Every spring, the Lurie Children's Hospital Department of Pediatrics and the Stanley Manne Research Institute hosts an annual Research Scholar Day, where postdoctoral fellows, fellows, graduate students, senior residents and research staff present their research to medical staff and colleagues in a professional conference environment.
