Student Research Posters
Students in the UK Master of Science Degree in Physician Assistant Studies must complete a Masters Research Project as part of graduation requirements. Students work in research teams under the guidance of a course director and with support from a faculty mentor. Research teams spend approximately a year of intentional preparation, including review of relevant literature and data analysis, in a focused area of medicine or health care delivery. This work culminates with production of an original research manuscript and poster presentation. A selection of PAS Masters Research Project Posters are provided below.
