Yesterday, our Utah Health Scholars students presented at the Southern Utah University Festival of Excellence to showcase their rigorous research and community-impact projects.

From analyzing social determinants of health to exploring innovative predictors for clinical measurements, these students are not just studying healthcare; they are actively contributing to its future.

Check out some of the projects featured this year:

- Interprofessional Education of Pre-Healthcare Undergraduates at SUU: A deep dive into how collaborative education models shape the readiness of future providers.

- Assessment of Carotenoid Level Variability in Southwestern Utahns: An insightful correlation analysis looking at nutrition and social determinants of health through the lens of local data.

- Assessment of the Body Roundness Index (BRI) as a Predictor of Visceral Fat: A sex-based analysis evaluating modern alternatives to traditional health metrics like BMI.

A huge congratulations to all our presenters for their hard work and for representing the Utah Health Scholars program so well. We are incredibly proud of your dedication to advancing healthcare!

Last week, two of our student leaders at Utah Tech University (Matthew Goates & Curtis Bennet) completed their homeless kits projects. They assembled kits with items that those experiencing homelessness would need. These two worked with the local homeless shelter to research items needed in those kits. They gathered donations for a while, then assembled the kits.

They disseminated kits to Utah Tech students last week, encouraging them to keep the kit in the car, then give it to someone they come across. Well done, Matthew and Curtis!
