The Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine Annual Research Symposium is a yearly event designed to encourage student and faculty research and collaboration. Students and faculty from NoordaCOM, as well as surrounding institutions, present posters and talks to their peers. Intermountain Journal of Translational Medicine, in conjunction with Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine, 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.
