Great work, and congratulations to all!

We have wrapped up our Health Forward Conference, and it was an amazing event that truly brought our community together. 🎉

We started the day with poster presentations showcasing research, teaching innovation, and interprofessional education. We then concluded with our 4th and 5th breakout sessions, featuring outstanding presenters who kept our faculty and students engaged, collaborating, and inspired throughout the day.

All of this momentum led us to a meaningful milestone. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible and for your continued support. 🙌

We had an amazing first day at our Health Forward Conference! 🙌

We kicked things off with opening remarks from our Dean, Dr. Michael Lehker, followed by an inspiring keynote from School of Medicine Dean, Dr. Everardo Cobos.
