IU School of Medicine Student Research Symposium (ISRS) is a student-led research symposium. ISRS provides students an opportunity to present scholarly projects they have been engaged in with their colleagues, faculty, and administrators at the IU School of Medicine.
Abstract Submission
Do you have research (including case reports/case series) or other scholarly projects that you are interested in presenting to peers and faculty? If so, the IU School of Medicine Student Research Symposium is for you!
Using research you’ve presented in the past for another conference (e.g. IMPRS, AMWA) is perfectly acceptable. However, we will not accept submissions that have been presented at the ISRS in previous years.
- Abstracts are due May 22, 2022.
- The Symposium will be held in-person in the summer of 2022. The symposium date is to be announced in future newsletters and reminders.
- Posters will be judged, and awards will be announced shortly thereafter.
- There should be ample time from award announcements to ERAS submission.
