HPD Research Day | February 16, 2018

Welcome to HPD Research Day February 16, 2018 The Health Professions Research Division is excited to welcome you to Nova Southeastern University’s Health Professions Division Research Day (HPD Research Day). All eight academic colleges of the Health Professions Division— Allopathic Medicine, Dental Medicine, Health Care Sciences, Medical Sciences, Nursing, Optometry, Osteopathic Medicine, and Pharmacy—have banded together to offer poster displays and oral presentations of their current research. Research Day reflects the important contributions to NSU’s mission as it relates to academic excellence, intellectual inquiry, leadership, research, and commitment to community through engagement of students and faculty members in a dynamic, life- long learning environment. This is an opportunity to learn about the research that our faculty, residents, fellows, and graduate students have conducted as a critical part of their educational experience. Adding to the festivities will be door prizes and awards for best student presentations. People from other colleges across NSU will visit our division to learn more about us and see the work we do here. Students and faculty from all HPD’s Regional Campuses will participate via videoconferencing. This event promises to be more than a day-long celebration of research and scholarly activities. It is also an opportunity for students and faculty from multiple disciplines to interact with each other and with the larger research and NSU communities. I am so pleased you are able to be a part of this academic research event. Patrick C. Hardigan, Ph.D. Director, HPD Research
