Mountain West Research Summit

Research: The lifeblood of medical advancements.

Without innovative research, medical education stagnates. But through it, students foster critical thinking skills, develop evidence-based practices, and prepare for the ever-evolving challenges of the medical field. That’s why Noorda-COM prioritizes research experiences.

Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine and Rocky Mountain University invites all students or scholars at healthcare-related colleges in the Intermountain West to participate in its symposium on May 9th, 2025. Faculty, residents, students, and the Utah County community are also welcome to participate. Read through submission guidelines and deadlines below.

Registration

We invite you to attend the 1st annual Mountain West Research Summit. Attend the event in person or online (via Zoom). The Summit will feature three tracks over four sessions through the day.
