2024 Medical Student Research Symposium

Watch for the Call for Abstracts for the 2024 Medical Student Research Symposium in Fall 2023. 

Submission Guidelines

All Wayne State University medical students are eligible to submit abstracts on a research project to which they have made a significant contribution. Students who participated in a Medical Student Summer Research Fellowship in 2022 are expected to submit abstracts of their work.

Please note:

  • All presentations will be Poster Format.
  • The symposium is limited to one abstract submission per medical student. 
  • Case reports do not meet the requirements for a formal research project and will not be accepted.

We are eager to have all students participate who have research work to share!

Submission Instructions

Submissions will be collected electronically via Digital Commons.
