The School of Medicine is proud to announce its inaugural Research Day, and we warmly invite faculty, students, researchers and clinicians to join us for this exciting and inspiring event.

Research Day is hosted by the School of Medicine under the theme of Promoting research, advancing science and improving clinical practice in 5IR.

Research Day celebrates the vital role of research in shaping the future of medicine, science, and clinical care. The event is a unique opportunity to showcase research by our faculty, students, researchers, clinicians and collaborators—fostering dialogue, collaboration, and discovery across disciplines.

Through oral and poster presentations, keynote addresses, and interactive discussions, we aim to highlight how research fuels innovation, informs evidence-based practice, and drives improvements in patient care—especially in the transformative context of the 5IR, where human-centered technologies and interdisciplinary integration are redefining healthcare.
