More than 80 posters and clinic table displays filled the student union's second floor conference center Friday for the 23rd annual School of Health Related Professions Research Day. The room was a constant buzz of activity as SHRP students presented their research to faculty, judges and those interested in learning about the latest study topics in allied health. The event brings attention to research within the health related professions and encourages SHRP faculty and students to explore different avenues or discovery. The school-wide event is designed to allow for more collaborative interaction between UMMC faculty, staff and students.
