This is an open invitation to submit a poster about your educational work, innovation, or research at a receptive and welcoming event.  We are seeking poster submissions (whether current or recently presented work) for the 2026 Snow Season Education Retreat. This will be an opportunity for UVM LCOM educators to share ideas and to collaborate across departments. We are particularly interested in work related to the education of professionals across the continuum of learners. 

Innovations: Descriptions of innovations in teaching, assessment, and educational administration.

Research: Studies on topics related to health professions education. All approaches to inquiry (e.g., qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, systematic review) are welcome.

Quality Improvement: Examples of CQI approaches applied to health professions education.

The Snow Season Education Retreat will be held on Thursday, January 15, and Friday, January 16, 2026.  If your abstract is selected, you will be expected to attend the Poster Session on Friday, January 16, 2026, in person at the Davis Center. If you request a peer review for your poster, you must be present during the Snow Season Poster Session.
