for, “Evaluation of Asthma Knowledge in the Emergency Room Setting.” Dr. LaQuita
Martinez was named second runner-up for “Lifestyle Intervention to Limit Excessive

Residents at all levels were allowed to submit posters to showcase their research
experience with their faculty advisors. Dr. William E. Booth, Dr. Sandra Moore, and
Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice served as judges; evaluating posters on scientific content,
poster design, and a verbal presentation. Dr. William E. Booth serves as the long-time
director of MSM’s graduate medical education program.
