The University of Maryland School of Medicine is hosting a Spring symposium to showcase ongoing research across the wider University of Maryland Baltimore campus. This event dovetails with the recently launched Institute for Health Computing (UM-IHC), a partnership of the University of Maryland at College Park, the University of Maryland at Baltimore, and the University of Maryland Medical System. The UM-IHC is exploring novel computational and analytical methods to improve the health and quality of life for all citizens of Maryland. The current Call for Abstracts welcomes research submissions that relate broadly to computational science in biomedicine, precision medicine, novel approaches to clinical trials or population health studies, and learning health systems.
Accepted abstracts will be chosen for a poster presentation.
Submissions should be no more than 250 words and include:
- Title
