The UAMS Northwest Regional Campus in Fayetteville hosted a concurrent Student Research Day at Washington Regional Medical Center.

The event, originally scheduled for February but postponed due to inclement weather, consisted of research project poster sessions and the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition at both locations, with awards in various categories. More than 290 posters were submitted, with all five colleges and the graduate school represented between the two participating campuses.
