2013 Combined Annual Meeting of CSCTR and MWAFMR

ABOUT THE MEETING

The leadership of the Central Society for Clinical and Translational Research (CSCTR) and the Midwestern Section of the American Federation for Medical Research (MWAFMR) invite you to participate in the 2013 Combined Annual Meeting. The Combined Annual Meeting has a rich annual tradition of providing a forum for young investigators, fellows and associate/assistant professors to present their research to leaders in their fields. This is one of the few multispecialty meetings with a broad focus where the attendees can learn about research techniques used in other medical specialties and apply those techniques to their own research.

The Combined Annual meeting features two presentations by prominent researchers; the Hickam Lecture and MWAFMR Keynote Lecture. Announcements for both will be featured on the CSCTR website shortly.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The 2013 Combined Annual Meeting is open to physician-scientists, research scientists, clinicians and medical education professionals. This meeting is highly recommended for young investigators, fellows, junior scientists and trainees, who would benefit from close interaction with senior colleagues.
