Research Excellence Awards

The prestigious Research Excellence Awards returned to the 59^th PAH Health Symposium.

The Research Excellence Awards showcase a multidisciplinary program of oral and poster presentations—awarding the best allied health, nursing, medical, surgical and laboratory/basic science research undertaken by student and early career researchers.
