Students were able to showcase their research findings during BCAP's closing ceremony Aug. 3 at the School of Medicine. The oral research presentation allows students to communicate the importance of their research, learn how to clearly analyze and state their findings, and prompt others to ask questions and give valuable feedback. https://www.med.wayne.edu/news/2018/08/01/biomedical-career-advancement-program-brings-dps-students-to-school-of-medicine-for-summer-of-study/?utm_source=link&utm_medium=email-5b68684ca4552&utm_campaign=Today%40Wayne+Newsletter+-+Monday%2C+August+6%2C+2018&utm_content=Program+brings+DPS+students+to+School+of+Medicine+for+summer+of
