Drs. Ryan, Eppler & Abu-Laban Receive the David Lloyd Jones Research Award

Congratulations to UBC Family Practice Resident Dr. Erin Ryan and her DEM co-investigators Dr. Jeff Eppler (supervisor) and Dr. Riyad Abu-Laban. Dr. Ryan presented their study titled “FEARS: The Frail Elderly Admission Rate Study” at the UBC Family Practice Resident’s Research Day and won the David Lloyd Jones Research Award. This award provided Erin $1000, plus an additional $1000 when the study is published. FEARS was first discussed at DEM Research in Progress Rounds in October 2012, and is a great example of how Research in Progress Rounds can help advance a project from an idea through to completion.
