The Annual Residents Research Competition of the Philadelphia Academy of Surgery will be held on Monday, February 6, 2012 at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. We will be repeating last year’s format, which included both podium presentations and poster presentations.
Cash prizes will be awarded!
Both clinical and basic science work are welcome. Presentation at the Philadelphia Academy of Surgery need not preclude submission to other meetings or publication elsewhere. However, we do expect that the work will be original and that it will be substantially the work of the presenting resident, who will be matriculated in an ACGME-accredited residency in surgery or a surgical sub-specialty, and that the work will not have been previously published. It is also expected that the resident will be present at the February meeting to present his/her work.
We also allow trainees in surgical fellowships to compete.
The posters will be available during the reception at the start of the evening. The podium presentations will be given following dinner.
The deadline for submission of abstracts for the Residents Research Competition is Monday, December 12, 2011. Electronic submission is encouraged, but not required. The abstracts will be judged in a blinded fashion.
