Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD) features research, scholarship, and creative work carried out by UMBC undergraduates. Student work is shared through oral presentations, posters, artistic exhibits, performances, and film. Over 300 presenters participate annually. Researchers work with faculty mentors on independent research, or research that is part of the mentor's on-going projects. They are from all disciplines, and can be working on a thesis, capstone project, part of a scholars or honors program, or they can be unaffiliated. This campus-wide celebration of achievement affirms UMBC's commitment to the twin goals of research and a distinctive undergraduate experience.

All current undergraduates who have conducted research, scholarship or creative work in the last year may apply to present their results at URCAD. Mentors, fellow students, friends, family members, high school teachers and students, graduate school recruiters, and the general public are invited to attend.

The PreMedical and PreDental Advising Office intends to host a student panel about clinical experience on Monday, April 15, 3-3:45pm, and we need your help! If you are currently involved in clinical experience and/or shadowing, and you are willing to share about your experiences and tips, please complete this form as soon as possible! 

During the event, you and the other panelists would talk about what you do, how you got started, how the experience has influenced your decision to pursue your future career, tips for other students who are interested in clinical experience, etc. In addition to being helpful to students who are considering getting started in clinical experience, you may also find that it’s great practice for professional school admissions interviews!  

Students from ALL career preparation pathways (medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, and podiatry) are encouraged to apply! If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Huselton at HealthProAdvising@umbc.edu.
