The UT Southwestern Medical Student Research Forum is an annual event celebrating research conducted by UT Southwestern medical students. The event is open to any medical student who participated in research, whether through the Summer Research Program or a yearlong program like Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Students with accepted abstracts are able to present a poster at the poster session. Four students give oral presentations during the day, which also will include a special guest lecturer.
