38th Annual Kalamazoo Community Medical and Health Sciences Research Day

Research day presentations and posters offer new information and will enhance the general and specific knowledge of the attendee in different disciplines (Peds, IM, Emergency Medicine, Psychiatry, etc.) Attendees will have the opportunity to review abstracts before Research Day to be versed with the variety topics to be presented. Following each oral presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of the presenter to enhance their knowledge and allow others in the audience to benefit.

In an effort to provide a better experience for our attendees of the 2020 Research Day Event, we would like to provide pre-registration to the event. Doing this will provide us with better information on how we can best support and provide for those who attend our event. Above is a link to our pre-registration form, and will only take a few short moments to complete and will provide us with some key information prior to the event.
