Medical Student and Resident Poster Competition
The Association of Women Surgeons (AWS) is proud to announce its 4th
annual Medical Student and Resident Poster Competition. The poster
competition is for female surgical residents and medical students
interested in surgery. It is designed to facilitate an interaction
and idea exchange between students, residents and faculty members of
various institutions. Selected student and resident authors
will have an opportunity to meet and answer questions regarding
their research at the AWS meeting on Sunday, October 3rd, 2010 (held
in conjunction with the American College of Surgeons Clinical
Congress). Authors selected to participate in the poster
contest will be asked to register for the AWS conference. Judging
will occur by a panel with prizes awarded for the top student and
resident posters. The top student and resident poster winner will
each receive a $500 cash award.
The written abstract will be used in making selections for poster
presentations at the meeting. Topic areas for submissions include:
Basic Science, Clinical Outcomes, Case Vignettes, Epidemiology, and
Health Policy. Please include the following sections in all
submissions: title and author (including affiliations),
introduction, methods, results, and conclusion. Please limit the
entire abstract submission to 400 words or less (excluding the
title) and format your abstract submission as a PDF file. Abstracts
must be submitted no later than 5:00 PM ET Friday, August 20th
by e-mail.
