Presentations

Doctoral Project Dissemination

All students are provided with an opportunity to present their doctoral projects during an on-campus research symposium held in the spring of the student’s senior year. In 2021 and 2022, those events were held virtually and attended by several CRNA preceptors throughout the state and across the country.

Completion of a poster or podium presentation is required for all students regardless of the type of doctoral project they are completing. In addition to presentations at RFU, selected students have presented at the state meeting for the Wisconsin and Illinois Associations of Nurse Anesthetists.

RFUMS Center of Interprofessional Evidence and Based Practice

A JBI Center of Excellence

The JBI Collaboration originated with the founding of JBI within the University of Adelaide, South Australia in 1996. Rosalind Franklin University (RFU) joined this collaboration in 2016. Together, our mission is “to facilitate the synthesis, transfer and implementation of the best available evidence to ensure the feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness and effectiveness of health policy and practice.”

All School Research Consortium

The All School Research Consortium (ASRC) is held Annually on the third Wednesday in March. This University-wide, student-run event, highlights student research and reinforces the University's Interprofessional Mission. The event serves as a vehicle to bring the University scientific community together, encourage communication across disciplines and educate graduate and professional students.
