The Medical Center of Aurora, in Aurora, Colorado (USA), served as the host institution for the First Annual Rocky Mountain Healthcare Symposium. The objectives of the Symposium were to offer a series of lectures, provided by a group of internationally recognized leaders in clinical medical research on "How to conduct clinical medical research," and to allow medical residents from regional training programs to highlight their research. Twelve programs, from four US States, were represented. Oral presentations were given for selected abstracts with awards given for best posters and presentations. While the First Annual Symposium was generally viewed as successful based upon feedback metrics, survey results provided both subjective and quantitative foundation for improvements.
