Is there a Research Poster Session for 2020?
Due to the challenges of hosting a Poster Session virtually we have elected to postpone our Poster Session for 2020 and hope to resume Poster Presentations in 2021. We will begin accepting new abstracts for the GMHC 2021 starting Dec 1, 2020 through May 1st, 2021. The Poster Presentation is designed to give attendees an opportunity to informally present and discuss their research with colleagues. We will be accepting abstracts involving research in any area of healthcare missions (including but not limited to medicine, nursing, behavioral health, public health, dentistry, OT/PT and optometry). You can find out more information and submit your abstract here.
