Save the date! Cooper University Health Care and Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) present the Fifth Annual Camden Scholars’ Forum Poster Contest on April 16, 2018.
The program recognizes outstanding achievement in the fields of research and performance improvement. All eligible posters will be judged by Cooper and CMSRU 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 projects during the forum on April 27, 2018.
Categories for Poster Applications
- Clinical
- Basic
- Case Study
- Medical Student
- Nursing Research

- Performance Improvement (PI)
Applications are available on the Cooper intranet: 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.
If you plan to submit a PI project and need the Project Description Form, please contact either:
- Ernest M. Post, MD, at post-ernest@cooperhealth.edu.
- Krystal Hunter at hunter-krystal@cooperhealth.edu.
The form needs to be submitted to them by Friday, February 16, 2018, so they can determine if your project needs IRB review. If the project is determined to be research, an electronic application must be submitted by February 19, 2018, to the IRB for review and approval.
