Research

We are excited to announce that the 2024 UltraFest conference will include a poster presentation session. The poster session will allow students to present their research and collaborate with other students to gain exposure to current research going on in the Philadelphia area. Additionally, this is an excellent opportunity for students to highlight their research and build their CV. The posters will be evaluated by attending physicians and the winners will be announced at the Symposium during Closing Remarks. We invite you to participate in the poster presentation by submitting your abstract for submission.
