This annual event is designed to promote research on important issues related to improving care provided to patients in family medicine and primary care settings. The Multi-Campus Research Forum (affectionately referred to as "Research Day") facilitates the exchange of scholarly activities and highlights the creative work conducted by residents, fellows, faculty, staff, and medical students from UCLA-Affiliated Family Medicine Residency programs.

Information for Presenters
Authors who submitted abstracts or case reports for this year's Research Day will be contacted by April 21 informing them if their submission was accepted. As a reminder, only the Contact Author listed on the submission form will receive this correspondence, and they are responsible for sharing all communications from the Committee with their teams. (If your team's Contact Author has not received an email from the Committee by April 22, please contact Laura Sheehan).
This year eight submissions were selected for lectern presentations. If you were selected for a lectern this year, please refer to the email from the Committee for details on what is expected and to determine which session you are assigned. Click here for more guidance on preparing your lectern presentation.
This year we are asking those authors whose research abstracts were selected for poster presentations to prepare a 60-second oral summary (AKA "elevator pitch"), to be presented twice during their assigned Poster Session. Abstract authors should refer to the email from the Committee for more details. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear these oral summaries at the 10- and 25-minute mark of each Poster Session. (See the Agenda below for more details).
There will be two Poster Sessions this year, each 40-minutes in duration. We will have three break-out rooms where both research abstract and case report posters will be displayed. Abstract and Case Report authors should refer to the email from the Committee for more details and to determine which session and room they are assigned to. Attendees are encouraged to visit all three rooms during each session to view posters and ask questions of the authors.

He is also Executive Director of the Center for Behavioral & Addiction Medicine (CBAM). For more than 25 years Dr. Shoptaw has conducted a series of clinical studies in community clinic settings, primarily on topics that involve development and testing of medical and behavioral interventions to treat substance abuse and to prevent the spread of HIV.
