2026 MEZCOPH Poster Forum

Welcome to the 2026 Public Health Poster Forum! The Annual MEZCOPH Public Health Poster Forum provides a unique opportunity for students conducting public health-related research and community-based work to connect with professionals from the public health industry, regional and state governments. This event fosters 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, attendees will develop essential professional competencies through every stage of the conference experience. A dedicated student planning committee cultivates a collaborative, inclusive environment where participants can learn from leading experts through keynote presentations, receive constructive feedback on poster design, and build meaningful connections with peers and mentors. Students from across the University of Arizona are invited to contribute their unique perspectives and research insights to the collective effort of advancing public health, showcasing innovative public health research and meaningful community engagement projects. Scholarship prizes are awarded for top posters in both research and community engagement categories. The theme for this year is "Data to Action: Public Health Climate and AI Innovation."
