Roseman University held its Ninth Annual Research Symposium on February 22 at its Henderson campus. Open to the public, the event featured 59 research posters and three podium presentations by Roseman students, residents, faculty, preceptors, and guests from other institutions in the surrounding region.
This year’s research abstracts covered a wide range of topics in various areas including bench-top science, clinical research, and educational research. They independently and collectively represented prodigious planning, methodical execution, and deeply insightful findings covering everything from oral health to diabetes and infectious diseases.
Student and resident presentations were judged by a panel of internal Roseman faculty and external researchers to award the top research projects. The winners were announced at the close of the event, and included students and residents from Roseman University, Touro University Nevada, UNLV Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine, Coral Academy of Science, Dignity Health St. Rose Dominican Hospitals and MountainView Hospital.
