The virtual event was led by the Student Government Association in collaboration with Dr. Mary Lucero, Dean of Academic Affairs, and a team of faculty judges and advisors. Teams of students worked together to prepare and present original research and case reports, with topics ranging from health literacy and knowledge of sickle cell disease to managing fractures and artery occlusions.
