GW Nursing Spotlights Student Researchers at Annual Showcase
On April 30, 2025, the GW School of Nursing hosted its annual Student Research Showcase. The virtual poster presentations were divided into two sessions with a total of 24 students presenting from the MSN, DNP, and PhD programs.
The important areas of study and research findings demonstrate the excellence with which GW Nursing students pursue their academic interests. GW Nursing students at every level are exploring solutions to critical problems facing diverse populations and the healthcare system more broadly.
The top three researchers from each session were awarded based on the evaluations of an all-faculty panel. Congratulations to our six winners!
