The Buffalo News reports that Matthew Cosmai, an MSW student at the UB School of Social Work, will be honored with the American Geriatric Society’s 2023 Clinical Student Research Award for his project on educating older adults about medication safety. 

The project was part of his field internship with UB’s Team Alice, an interprofessional research, education and advocacy program under UB’s Center for Successful Aging. “Three years ago when I decided to go back to school, this is not something I thought was possible,” Cosmai said. “This is a national award with one recipient, so I'm really honored.”
