The Bronx Lebanon Family Medicine department prides itself on being informed by, and participating in, the ongoing conversation around research, technology, and management in the healthcare field.  A large amount of the exchange of new and innovative ideas occurs at various presentations and conferences throughout the country and world.  Our department devotes itself to participating in as many as possible.  Through these presentations and conferences our department continues to develop and improve ourselves as we serve one patient at a time. 

A common vehicle of communication throughout these conferences and presentations is the proverbial “poster.”  Poster presentations are beneficial as they allow the author to meet and speak informally with interested viewers, facilitating a greater exchange of ideas and networking opportunities opposed to lecture formatted presentations. Please find below a list of the most recent conferences members of our research department have presented posters at:

1. Setting Up a Transgender Clinic.
