Faculty and trainees are invited to present posters describing their research, with a limit of one first-authored presentation per person. Abstracts are limited to 2,200 characters (including spaces). Residents and Clinical/Research Fellows are especially encouraged to present. Posters presented at previous professional meetings are welcome.

The Neal Alan Mysell Award will be chosen for the best poster presentation by a Fellow.
The Harry and Maida Solomon Award will be chosen for the best poster presentation by a Resident.

The awardees will be selected by the Mysell Committee and announced at the Mysell Lecture following the poster session. For the purpose of the award, trainees are defined as those individuals holding the appointment of resident or postdoctoral fellow. The latter includes both MDs and PhDs. Previous award recipients are not eligible to receive the same award again, but are encouraged to present a poster.
