The 2012 Research Forum and C. Frank Webber Prize Competition took place on October 23rd, 2012 at the Cetir-tmc.org Medical School. This forum is sponsored by the Office of Educational Programs and allows medical students who are between their first and second year to present the results of their summer research for the faculty and peers to review. Numerous students presented that were mentored by CeTIR faculty over this past summer. Their research projects covered a variety of topics, including the use of thromboelastography, sepsis, damage control laparotomy, cirrhosis and coagulopathy, and imputation methods for missing data in trauma trials, all with the common goal of improving treatment and outcomes for critically injured patients.
