Monday, May 5
15th Annual Scholarly Project Research Symposium
The Scholarly Project Research Symposium is a forum for attendees to engage with the Class of 2025 medical students and inquire about their scholarly projects and results during multiple poster sessions. Every student at the College designs and successfully completes a hypothesis-driven research Scholarly Project (SP) and work closely with mentors throughout the four years of their project. Through this process students learn about medical information literacy, life-long learning, teamwork, effective communication, research methods, evidence-based medicine approaches and ethics related to scholarly inquiry.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Robyn McDannold, Program Manager, at @email.
