Medical Student and Resident Poster Competition
The Association of Women Surgeons (AWS) offers an
Annual Medical Student and Resident Poster Competition. It is
designed to facilitate interaction and idea exchange between
students interested in surgery, surgical residents, and faculty
members of various institutions. Each year, ten medical students and ten
residents will be invited to present their research posters at the
AWS Annual Conference (held in conjunction with the American College of
Surgeons Clinical Congress). Authors selected to
participate will be asked to register for the AWS conference.
Recognition and a monetary prize will be awarded for the top three
medical student posters and top three resident posters. The top
student and resident poster winner will also receive a complimentary
ticket to the AWS Awards Dinner.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
