Each year the FUTURE (formerly National Conference) Poster Competition gives attendees a venue to share innovative and effective educational programs and showcase unique community projects. This opportunity stimulates research among medical students and residents and encourages networking with those who share similar interests.

In 2025, 50 entries have been selected for display. Of those, the top 12 Research poster authors will be invited to give a brief oral presentation onsite for peer review.

We are so excited to congratulate Ryunosuke Hisatomi, MD, PGY 3, LSU Health Shreveport Family Medicine Residency Program, as one of the accepted posters in the 2025 FUTURE Poster Contest.
