Past Meetings
2017 PPS Residents' Research Night
PPS hosted the annual Residents’ Research Night at the DoubleTree Downtown Pittsburgh on Monday, September 25. This night celebrates the research submitted by residents and nurse practitioners from the Pittsburgh area. The first-place prize was awarded to Melanie Grubisha, MD from WPIC for her research on schizophrenia-associated missense mutation in kalirin converges on multiple RhoA-dependent pathways involved in cytoskeletal morphology. Second place went to Benjamin Gangewere, DO from Allegheny General Hospital for his research on the value of a mother-baby outpatient program for pregnant and postpartum women. Third place was awarded to Gianpiero Martone, DO and David Snow, DO from Millcreek Community Hospital (our friends from the Western chapter) for a comprehensive review of synthetic cannabinoid use and management. Congratulations to all!
Chester M. Berschling, MD, DLFAPA, founder of Residents’ Research Night, was in attendance to receive the PPS Lifetime Achievement Award. Marc Garfinkel, MD presented this award to Dr. Berschling for his devotion and contributions for the last 55 years.
