Despite COVID-19, the 2020 Indiana Medical Student Program for Research and Scholarship (IMPRS) program was a success, and this summer's first-ever virtual poster symposium featured 225 projects.
Although most projects were completed remotely, they added value and brought out the best of IU School of Medicine's students. Learners from all nine campuses presented in the areas of laboratory, translational and clinical research, community engagement, education and health outcomes. Two faculty judges then evaluated every participant's abstract, poster PDF and video recording of their presentation.
Below are the recipients who have received specific scholarships, awards and recognitions.
