Authors whose abstracts are chosen for an oral presentation must submit a letter from their program director or department head, attesting to the degree of involvement by the trainee in the research and in the preparation of the abstract.
• Evelyn Green Laufer Award for the best overall oral presentation, as judged by the Abstract Committee.
• Sally E. Perlman Award for the best overall poster presentation.
• Resident Education Committee Award for Innovation in Medical Education ($500) for best original research oral or poster presentation. Submissions for consideration should further evidence-based teaching practices directed towards medical student, resident, and fellow education. Specific criteria will look at the use of education theories and innovative strategies in trainee education.
• Health Disparities Research Award ($500) for best original research abstract focusing on and highlighting disparities in groups who have systematically faced greater obstacles in obtaining and maintaining health resources based on their racial or ethnic group, religion, socioeconomic status, sex, gender, disability, sexual orientation, geographic location, or other characteristics linked to discrimination. Studies should address not only the disparities but focus on future actions and/or demonstrate how research, advocacy, education, or clinical intervention can affect outcomes for those impacted by healthcare disparities.
