Resident Research Competition at 2011 Academic Forum

The Academic Forum & Career Fair will be held November 3, 2011 at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

ICEP asks each residency director to select one resident to present original research for the Resident Research Competition. The resident should best represent the residency to the Illinois emergency medicine colleagues, and should also be one of the principal investigators of the research to be presented.

The abstract may have been presented at a regional or national meeting prior to the Academic Forum as long as it has taken place within the last year, and the presenter indicates where and when the research was presented on their abstract cover sheet.

A team of ICEP Research Committee members will judge the research presenters, and first and second placements will be chosen. Winners will receive cash prizes and all presenters will be recognized for their research.


The deadline to submit a presenter is September 15. A completed submission form AND the research abstract must accompany each submission. PowerPoint presentations will need to be submitted to ICEP by October 17, 2011.
