Title: First SHRP Research Day
Date: May 24, 2010
Location: Scotch Plains Campus

The “1st Annual Research Day” was held on May 25, 2010 at the Scotch Plains Campus sponsored by the SHRP Committee on Research. Formerly called “Poster Day”. The event proved to be a successful day attracting over 120 guests who congregated in the Scotch Plains conference room on a warm sunny day greeted by a wall to wall display of 47 posters and abstracts.


Greeting the audience were two special guests: Dr. Michael Christmas, an expert in genetics and genomics, who educated the assembled group with his topic of “Using Personal Genome Information in Clinical Care” and Dr. Yana Kofman, an SHRP alumna, who volunteered to assist with the judging of posters and enthusiastically embraced her role to support alumni relations.


The theme of this year’s Research Day was “Personalized Medicine and the Role of Allied Health Professions”. The synergy and energy of students working with their advisor was self-evident by the myriad of posters presented.
The case studies ranged from "Co-bedding premature twins" to "Malaria in children under 5" to "The limitations of Evidence based Practices in Mental Health". With humor, grace and knowledge, 9 oral presentations followed with either individual or team effort supporting each abstract. Later that evening, awards were presented in different categories at the Annual Convocation dinner.


The Research Committee deserves much credit for breaking the ground and excedding expectations with posters and attendees and creating a standard for future SHRP Research Day's to come.
