April is recognized as Interprofessional Education month across the nation. As a method to observe this, the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center participates in Unity Week. During this week we highlight and celebrate our IPE activities and programs across campus.  

Undergraduate students, graduate students, professional students, and residents are invited to participate in the Unity Week Poster Hall organized by the Interdisciplinary Student Council. This is an exciting opportunity for students and residents to showcase their research. Whether you are a student, a researcher, or a professional from any field, you are welcome to participate in this event. 

To enter the mock poster hall, you will need to bring a research poster that highlights your work. Your poster should include an introduction to your research topic, a clear and concise explanation of your methods and findings, and a conclusion that summarizes the implications of your research. Make sure to use graphics and images to make your poster visually appealing and easy to understand. This can be a poster you have submitted to a previous or future conference.

Participating in the Unity Week Poster Hall is an opportunity to showcase your work, practice presenting research, receive feedback and questions, as well as promote unity and understanding across diverse health care fields of study. We look forward to seeing your posters and learning from your research!
