PAGNY is a public health leader in communities across New York City. Every year, we convene as an organization to celebrate our professionals and their cutting-edge population health research and other investigations at Research Day.

About Research Day

Join us for PAGNY’s ninth Annual Research Day on November 8, 2024, a celebration of innovative research that is shaping the future of health care. This event brings together leading researchers, health care professionals, and students to showcase innovations transforming patient care. Since 2016, the Physician Affiliate Group of New York (PAGNY) Annual Research Day has provided a platform for PAGNY physicians, New York Dental Affiliate (NYDA) dentists, and other health care professionals to present their research, analyses, findings, and conclusions on a wide range of clinical topics.

Each year, a board of esteemed physicians and researchers review projects focused on identifying innovative strategies to improve the physical and mental health of the most vulnerable populations of New York City who have been affected by health disparities and are underrepresented in biomedical research.

This year, we are excited to announce that, for the first time, we have broadened our invitation for abstract submissions beyond PAGNY providers to encompass medical professionals at health care organizations across the New York metropolitan area. This will be an inspiring opportunity to meet others with similar goals of enhancing patient care.

Submitting your abstract is the first step toward seizing this remarkable opportunity. It's a chance to share your work, gain recognition for your contributions to health care, and potentially earn a cash prize.

We are accepting abstracts in the following categories:

  • Research: Present your original research findings in clinical, translational, or basic science research.
  • Case Reports/Case Series: Share interesting and educational clinical cases that highlight unique findings, diagnostic challenges, or innovative treatment approaches.
  • Quality Improvement: Demonstrate the impact of your quality improvement initiatives on patient care outcomes, health care delivery, or clinical practice guidelines.

Research Day remains an essential forum where physicians, residents, and medical students share their research with peers, underscoring the importance of research in the health care community. Hear firsthand from health care providers about how their research can improve patient experience and make life-changing improvements to their overall health and well-being.

In 2023 alone, PAGNY Research Day received over 130 submissions and awarded five winners for their outstanding work, distributing a total of $7,000 in cash prizes.
