"WIPS" is an ongoing series of monthly meetings held within the Section of General Internal Medicine & Geriatrics at Tulane University School of Medicine. The purpose of these seminars is to discuss research that is currently in-progress. The meetings give presenters an opportunity to share a current research project and receive feedback from the department. The goal is to foster discussion at an early stage in research. The meetings are typically held on the third Friday of each month, unless otherwise noted.
