  • 2021 Virtual Health Research Symposium: Celebrating UWM Students with a focus on health research

Welcome to the 2021 UW-Milwaukee Health Research Symposium

The UWM Health Research Symposium showcases graduate and undergraduate student work representing a range of programs across our health-related schools and colleges. The Symposium is a great opportunity for students to disseminate their health-related work to peers, professors, and the wider Milwaukee community, often for the first time.

Presentations based on a wide range of research are welcome, including completed primary research projects, projects in progress, or research proposals, literature reviews, and projects based on community partnership efforts.

This year, for the first time, the UWM Health Research Symposium will be conducted virtually. Instead of the traditional poster format, the symposium is adopting an exciting brief video presentation format. Participating students will present their work in two formats: a written project abstract, and a short audiovisual presentation.

Both the project abstracts and video presentations will be available for public viewing and commenting on May 2, 2021. A panel of UWM faculty & staff will evaluate the project abstracts and video presentations, and awards will be presented in a live virtual award ceremony on May 7, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. CST via Zoom.
