I ask the academic
Department Chairs to encourage their residents to participate in the
meeting and to submit abstracts by the January 17th deadline.
An abstract may be accepted for inclusion in the scientific program
as either an oral or poster presentation. Two resident awards
will be given out based on oral presentations and one award will be
