Thank You for Visiting the Virtual Symposium!

Thank you for visiting the Fourth Annual Samaritan Regional Scholarly Symposium! Our goal is to highlight the fantastic projects done by Samaritan trainees as well as students from Oregon State University and the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific – Northwest (COMP-Northwest). 

Below you will find a link to a PDF version of each poster and a separate link to an audio summary on YouTube. Posters are grouped by project type (research, quality improvement, case studies).


This year, we also hosted virtual presentations on exciting research going on in our community from Paulina Kaiser, PhD, MPH; Jon Jones, MD; Justin Than, DO; Babe Westlake, DO and Sean Newsom, PhD. View a recording of the presentations.

If you have any questions or feedback for authors, please email shsresearch@samhealth.org and we will direct your questions/comments to the appropriate individuals. Thank you for your support of regional scholarly activity.  We hope to see you in person in 2022!
