Research Forum

Every year, the KU School of Medicine-Wichita holds a Research Forum for students, residents, and faculty, as well as anyone interested in community health and medical research to present, discuss, and collaborate on research projects. There is no charge to attend the forum. We do, however, ask that you register by Monday, April 27, 2009.

17th Annual Research Forum
Register Today!

Interested in presenting your research?
Submit an abstract application by Monday, April 20, 2009.

Resident presentations (oral and poster) will be entered into a research competition in one of two categories: Behavioral/Community/Health Services or General Medical, such as clinical trials, diagnostic studies, and medical procedures.  A $100 cash prize and a $500 stipend to travel to a research conference or offset research publication costs will be awarded in each category.
Fourth-year medical student projects from the Health of the Public rotation will be entered into competition for the Cramer Reed Award, which also receives a monetary award.
