School of Medicine students participating in the annual Health Sciences Research Summit are reminded that March 17 is the final deadline for abstract and poster submissions. This year’s research summit is April 26 at UMKC Student Union.
Students must submit their abstracts through the Health Sciences Student Research Summit online portal. Posters must be submitted by email to the School of Medicine’s Office of Research Administration at somresearch@umkc.edu.
A School of Medicine poster template and complete poster guidelines are available online through the Office of Research Administration. Students may have their poster layouts reviewed by John Foxworth, Pharm. D., by contacting him at FoxworthJ@umkc.edu prior to submitting their poster to the research office.
Students can also sign up for a time to practice their presentations with Dr. Timothy Hickman prior to the research summit by sending an email to the research office at somresearch@umkc.edu.
Students from the schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, Biological Sciences, Engineering and Arts & Science will take part in this year’s research summit from 3-5 p.m. in Room 401 of the Student Union. This is the sixth year that each of the schools are participating in the program at one venue on the Volker Campus.
The summit provides the UMKC health sciences students the opportunity to display posters that highlight their research and fosters collaboration across disciplines and schools that are generating economic, health, education and quality-of-life benefits for the Kansas City community.
The School of Medicine sponsors individual awards for medical students and its graduate students. Thirty-two students from the School of Medicine’s M.D. and Allied Health programs presented 34 posters at last year’s research summit.
