Welcome to the 2026 Public Health Poster Forum!
The Annual MEZCOPH Public Health Poster Forum is YOUR opportunity to shine! Whether you're
investigating climate change impacts on health, exploring cutting-edge AI applications, developing
surveillance systems, or working on community-based projects, we want to hear from you. Our mission is
to foster meaningful collaborations whether through employment opportunities, research partnerships, or
lasting professional networks while equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in public health
careers. Beyond presenting your work, you'll develop essential professional competencies through every
stage of the conference experience. Our dedicated student planning committee cultivates a collaborative,
inclusive environment where you can learn from leading experts through keynote presentations, receive
constructive feedback on poster design, and build meaningful connections with peers and mentors. We
invite students from across the university to contribute your unique perspectives and research insights to
our collective effort of advancing public health. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or presenting for
the first time, you'll find the support and resources needed to make your conference experience
transformative.
We invite you to share your work! Join fellow University of Arizona graduate and undergraduate
students in showcasing innovative public health research and meaningful community engagement
projects.
Scholarship prizes awarded for top posters in both categories!
