The Rocky Mountain Annual Scholarship Symposium is a yearly event designed to encourage student and faculty research and collaboration. Students and faculty from RMU, as well as surrounding institutions, present posters and talks to their peers. Intermountain Journal of Translational Medicine, in conjunction with Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions, published a selection of abstracts from this event. The abstracts included here have been reviewed by a panel of faculty judges as well as by members of our editorial team.
