Students present research at Midwest forum

More than 100 medical and graduate students participated in the Midwest Student Biomedical Research Forum (MSBRF) last month at the Embassy Suites in downtown Omaha.

The forum allows young researchers from health sciences, graduate, intern and resident programs throughout the U.S. and Canadian Midwest to present their work and have it evaluated by faculty outside their own institutions.
