MSA Capstone Presentations 2026

The Capstone Poster Session is the culmination of the MSA program. All graduating medical students matriculating, including students meeting the MSA requirements through the Research Track or the MSTP program, present their work in a formal poster presentation.

All School of Medicine Phase IV students (Class of 2026) will present their scholarly works and Phase I students (Class of 2029) will judge presentations asynchronously to gain experience with research and scholarly works from peers.

Faculty members from across campus volunteer their time and expertise to evaluate the student’s posters and presentations. In addition, the students also evaluate the work of their peers; selecting a 'Student's Choice' poster(s) from each of the 5 MSA thematic areas.

Date: Monday, April 6
Location: Strauss Health Science Library
(12950 E Montview Blvd, Aurora, CO 80045)
