Medical Student Clinical Case Presentations
(In conjunction with the Section on Medical Students, Residents and Fellowship Trainees. Clinical Case Program)

The AAP Abstract Submission program is now CLOSED. Please check back in February 2010 for the next cycle of submissions.

The AAP Section on Medical Students, Residents and Fellowship Trainees has held an annual “Clinical Case Competition” since 2003. Medical Students are also invited to submit cases. All medical students are now encouraged to submit abstracts of interesting cases they have come across in their training through the Academy's online abstract submission process with the sponsorship of a Fellow of the AAP (FAAP). The abstracts are judged by a review committee of the SOMRFT executive committee and the top ten authors are invited to present their case in poster format at the Medical Student and Resident Poster Reception at the NCE. 

The program was created in 2003 by former Resident Section member, Dr. David Kaelber. Since then interest has risen dramatically. There were forty submissions the inaugural year and nearly sixty submissions in 2008.

Medical students, keep your eyes open for unusual diseases or common diseases presenting in an unusual fashion.  Attending's should encourage their students to participate in this fun and educational program.  And everyone, please support the winners by attending the annual poster session usually held Friday night at the NCE.
