Research Day 2020

PAGNY Research Day 2020 was made possible by the hard work and generous contributions of many people. Thanks to the PAGNY and PAGNY Health & Research Foundation Boards of Directors for their support and to the PAGNY Health & Research Committee for its guidance. A special thanks to our Judges (listed below) who chose the best of the submitted abstracts contained in the following pages. We also thank Beluga Studio for the production of Research Day Compendium and for producing our Research Day Zoom Webcast. A very special thanks to Tania Ramirez and Xiomara Rivera, who worked tirelessly to attend to every last detail for today’s program.

Finally, we thank all of our participants, attendings, residents and students that took part in this year’s events. It is their search for new clinical knowledge that makes this event successful. We dedicate this event to you and your pursuits for professional development, intellectual curiosity, and knowledge sharing.
