We hope you will mark your calendars and join us for the Sixteenth Annual Department of Psychiatry Research Day, which will take place on June 9, 2016 at the University Club in Oakland.  

Program.  This annual event features a morning poster session highlighting the findings from a wide range of research projects presented by faculty, postdoctoral scholars, residents, students and staff.  We are pleased to once again offer the popular lunchtime Roundtable Discussions led by Department of Psychiatry experts on a variety of research and career development topics.  The afternoon Speed Dat(a)ing session features presentations by Department of Psychiatry researchers on their latest findings and a keynote address by a distinguished senior scientist.  The awards ceremony at the end of the program will recognize the contributions of faculty and staff to the Department and the research community, and presentation of the Best Poster prizes. Networking opportunities abound on Research Day so that attendees can reconnect with colleagues, meet new people in the research community and share their interests.
