December 2009 Newsletter Article

The Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) meeting in Vancouver is approaching soon, which means it is time for the Region V Trainee Abstract Competition. We are seeking original science abstracts from medical students, residents and fellows. You do not need to have submitted the abstract for presentation at PAS to apply for the competition. Travel awards to attend PAS and present the abstract at the Region V Breakfast will be awarded in each trainee category.

If you have a trainee that you are working with or know that would be a good fit for the competition, please encourage them to apply. The application is available for download here. The application and the abstract should be emailed to Bill Stratbucker at wstratbucker@aol.com and are due by December 10, 2009 at midnight (EST). Winners will be notified by December 31.

If you are interested in being a competition judge, please email Bill.

We are also excited to announce that we are restarting the Region V Teleconference Program in 2010. The teleconferences will be held quarterly. Our first topic is Educational Portfolios. Details will be provided in the coming weeks via email. If you have topic suggestions are interested in presenting, please email them to Mike McKenna at mpmckenn@iupui.edu

Have a wonderful holiday season and we look forward to having a great 2010!
