On Thursday, March 30, UMSON hosted its first Research Day, featuring research posters from UMSON faculty, post-docs, and students, and University of Maryland Medical Center nurse researchers. All UMB community members were invited to attend to review the posters and vote on the People’s Choice Award. Research Day is expected to become an annual event.
Posters were displayed in the UMSON lobby beginning Monday, March 27.
Congratulations to the poster award winners!
