<div dir="ltr">Hey All,<div><br><div>The APSA/ASCI/AAP joint meeting will take place April 3-5. This is the national meeting for our professional organization, and probably the best place to learn about the larger clinician-scientist training and career ecosystem in the US. No matter what year of the program you're in, it's a great and educational experience. Sadly the abstract deadline was quite early, and was not extended as it has been in past years.</div><div><br></div><div>Since we're all APSA members through an institutional membership funded by the president's office, registration is only 125$ (100$ early bird), plus we have registration fee waivers available for three students. For travel, lodging, and food including conference meal events (all generally excellent), don't forget that we're all (CoM-years people too) eligible for GSEU professional development funds which are not contingent on presenting research. Tracy also told me in no uncertain terms that she considered CoM-years MD/PhDs to be grad students for the purpose of CoGS funding, though of course that would need to be confirmed with... whoever gets to make those decisions now. The APSA club should also have a few hundred bucks to chip in towards the cause.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, with the support of CoGS, the co-directors have promised that they will start attending these meetings (and Keystone) to network with MD/PhD and Research-in-Residency program directors from across the country. Leszek, Andras, this reminder is for you as well!</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>~ Alan</div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">American Physician Scientists Association</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:info@physicianscientists.org">info@physicianscientists.org</a>></span><br>Date: Wed, Jan 22, 2020 at 10:01 AM<br>Subject: [EXTERNAL] ONE MONTH to take advantage of early-bird registration for #APSA20!<br>To: <<a href="mailto:blayneya@upstate.edu">blayneya@upstate.edu</a>><br></div><br><br><u></u>
