The Research Symposium Planning is now accepting applications for the following presentation categories:

Research Presentation Categories

Posters

• Research Posters (Basic Science): This poster presents scientific data and does not require any immediate application to the practice of medicine.  The IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion) format is generally used. 
• Clinical Case Report (Vignette) Poster: The Clinical Case Report (Vignette) Poster is a case based descriptive format designed to teach one important clinical lesson.  The teaching point is illustrated with a case.  There is no collection or analysis of data.  A usual format is Introduction, History, Physical, Laboratory and/or X-ray, Course and Discussion.  A discussion section uses the clinical literature to validate the content.
• Social Science/Humanities/International Health Poster A Humanities or Social Science Poster attempts to teach a lesson from the social studies or humanities. It need not include the collection or analysis of data.
• Clinical Research Poster: A clinical research poster requires the collection of clinical data and its analysis.  A clinical research poster is typically formatted in the IMRAD format (Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion).  The topic relates to the practice of medicine.

Oral Presentations

• Pre-Clinical Science Oral Presentations (by invitation only): Student research presentations are given by senior students who present an overview of their dissertation project. The talks may be from students in any discipline and should include a brief background of the project, definition of relevant terms, overview of the literature, discussion of data, findings, implications for future research with particular focus on clinical application when possible.
• Clinical Case Report (Vignette) Oral Presentation: A clinical vignette is a brief presentation of an interesting case or case series that the speaker has encountered. This category is open to all MSP and medical students and is by invitation for residents.
