Some highlights of the retreat included a moderated Q&A panel with residency program directors, a special presentation by Dr. Louito Edje, MD, on how physician scientists can create and promote their own personal brand, as well as various peer advice and "Hot Topic" presentations given by both current students and several UC MSTP alumni.
