Call for Abstracts: AWS Starr Medical Student & Resident Research Forum

Abstracts Due May 15

Calling all medical students and residents! You are invited to submit up to two abstracts for the AWS Starr Medical Student and Resident Research Forum at the 2025 AWS Annual Conference in Chicago.

Student, resident, and fellow members of AWS may submit up to two abstracts for the AWS Starr Medical Student and Resident Research Forum at the 2025 AWS Annual Conference. Abstracts are limited to 300 words and must have an Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions, and supporting author information. Figures or tables will not be accepted and incomplete abstracts will not be considered.

Please note that the review committee will not accept case reports and literature reviews. The deadline is 11:59PM EST on May 15, 2025.

Abstracts presented at other conferences are allowed, except for abstracts that you plan to present at the ACS conference. You cannot send an abstract on a project that is published prior to the conference. If your abstract is accepted, you must register for the 2025 AWS Annual Conference as a Student or Resident and present your work in person during the Scientific Session at the conference. (Please note that this session does not conflict with the medical student or resident activities at the ACS Clinical Congress.)

Recognition and a monetary prize will be awarded for the top three medical student presentations and top three resident/fellow presentations ($250 for 1st, $150 for 2nd, and $100 for 3rd). The top student and resident/fellow presentation winners will also receive a ticket to the AWS Foundation Awards Dinner on Sunday, October 5, 2025.
