Worth it to present poster abstract in person at conference?
I’m a third year med student and my abstract got accepted to a prestigious conference for a different field than I want to do residency in for a “Poster Presentation (Onsite) and ePoster.” My school has awarded me a travel scholarship to attend the conference, that will only reimburse me for my actual travel expenses. However, it may not be enough to cover the actual expenses, so I’d probably wind up paying out of pocket to go. I’ve read online that poster presentations are, in reality...

Match ortho from community program?
I am a rising M1 at a small, community school that is focused on getting their students into rural FM residencies. How can I maximize my chances of marching into orthopedics. We don’t have a home ortho program and only had 5 ortho matches in the past match cycle. I’m doing ortho research and had a poster at a national conference and have 2 publications in the works (2nd author & 3rd author) but what are other ways that I can maximize my chances? Obviously step 1 isn’t an option for me... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Acsom
Looks like the new American Canadian School of Medicine is starting up in September 2023 on Dominica in the old Ross campus. Not seen anything on this so far on SDN, so thought I'd post this as a FYI. To be clear, with no track record, its high risk, and I'm not suggesting it, just noting its launch. American Canadian School of Medicine - Caribbean Medical Education | ACSOM ACSOM is a non-profit medical school in the Caribbean offering an exceptional medical degree program with clinical exposure from day one, world-class faculty, and quality residency opportunities in the...

Poster presentation vs Abstract listing for ERAS
If I did a poster presentation for a national conference, and this conference's society also publishes the abstracts as a supplementary to their journal, would this be listed as BOTH a poster presentation and an abstract for ERAS? Or would I just list it as an abstract? A thread from way back (ERAS 'Publications' Listing FAQ) said you can double dip and listed as both, but want to check on this as it seems sort of sketchy.

APP getting bought out by Schumacher
Hot off the press, from APP’s ‘big announcement’ conference call today. I didn’t attend but heard from colleagues. I’m shocked. Don’t know how SCP managed to pull this off. Their finances aren’t horrible, but not great either, and they’re a much smaller company without much PE money. Thoughts? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Why do(n't) you go to the APA Conference?
I'm just trying to see why people do/don't go to the APA Conference. I've heard mixed responses about it in general. I'm going to this upcoming one and just wanted to hear people's thoughts. Also just want to hear some general pointers, tips, etc, about what to do there. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Favorite CME conference?
Which CME conferences have you guys been to that you really enjoyed and would do again? I likely won’t do ACFAS unless they roll back into a fun city, I am curious what else is out there. I was thinking IFAF Las Vegas? Has anyone been to that one? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Assistance finding clinical research jobs as a recent graduate.
First time poster on SDN. I'm a recent graduate in BME looking for a 1-2 year job in clinical research to help bolster my med school application (plan on applying next cycle). I believe I have a strong application all around and am hoping to find work doing clinical research with the goal of contributing to 1 or more publications. I've done a few years of research in undergrad where I presented projects at multiple conferences and authored an undergraduate thesis (unpublished). I believe...

Should I list every publication on ERAS?
Hey all, current M4 shooting for PM&R this coming cycle. Have around 20ish journal publications and 10 conference presentations. Out of these, only two are PM&R specific (an experimental trial involved stroke patients for rehab trial). A couple of them are sports science/med related. The majority of the rest are surgery-related animal/basic science studies that I still pump out papers up until today. Also received grants and funding for these projects as the lead investigator. Now my... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Question about my research quantity
Hello everyone, I will be starting medical school this fall at an MD school. Going into medical school, I will have 3 abstracts presented at major conferences to my name, and I expect to have at least 1 publication and 1-2 abstracts added as well. Do you think this would put me in a good position for a top 10 Internal Medicine residency. What should I be aiming for get a top 10 residency for IM? For reference, I will be going to UCF for medical school, and I plan to continue doing research... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

How to list conference short paper on AMCAS activities section?
I have a first-author short paper (~3 pages long, not an abstract) approved for submission at an international conference, but it won't be published in a peer-reviewed journal or posted on PubMed (though the submission was peer-reviewed before acceptance to the conference). Since it's technically still a paper, I'm wondering if I can put this under "Publication" for AMCAS activities section, or if it should go under "Conferences" or "Presentations/Posters."
