Submission Contest Winners – Congratulations!
Last year, the editorial staff at MSRJ invited medical students to enter our submission contest. This contest was open to any medical student author who submitted during the contest dates. Authors had the chance to win a $300 scholarship in each of the following categories: Best Original Research, Best Review, Best Reflection, and Best Case Report. The response we received to this call was overwhelming. Our submission rate greatly increased during this contest time with amazing articles from around the globe. Throughout the year, our staff tirelessly reviewed these articles and after much deliberation, we are very pleased to announce the winners of this contest! Listed below are our winners in each category including a short biography of the research team.
