Eighth Annual Camden Scholars’ Forum Poster Contest
Save the Date! Cooper University Health Care and Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) present the Eighth Annual Camden Scholars’ Forum Poster Contest on April 14, 2021.
This program recognizes outstanding achievement in research and performance improvement. All eligible posters will be judged by CMSRU clinical and biomedical science faculty and scored for the abstract, poster design, title clarity and completeness, methods, results, and discussion/conclusions. Contest winners will give a short oral presentation about their project at the Winner’s Forum.
After last year’s success at being completely online, we are continuing that format for 2021’s event. No physical posters will be accepted! Please carefully read the instructions that will help guide you to a successful poster submission.
Categories for Poster Applications:
- Clinical
- Basic
- Case Study
- Medical Student
- Nursing Research
- Allied Health
- Performance Improvement (PI)
Applications will be open on the Cooper intranet January 29, 2021: http://assets.cooperhealth.org/researchweek/
Performance Improvement projects include Quality Improvement, Quality Assurance, and Patient Safety projects. The intent of these projects should be aimed at improving local systems of care and not generalized results.
