Annual Research & Innovation Symposium
Every spring, the Institute hosts the Research & Innovation Symposium, where staff, students, and organizational partners showcase their projects in clinical and community innovation, continuous quality improvement, and scientific inquiry. The 2018 Symposium’s theme of “Advocacy” illuminated the scholarly activities disseminated at the Institute over the years that have gone on to directly influence clinical care, health systems improvement, and public health policy.
