2025 Poster Symposium: Showcase Your Research!

The 2025 Poster Symposium is set to take place on Friday, April 4, 2025, at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown. This is a prime opportunity for Medical Students, Residents, and Fellows to present their research and contribute to advancing medical knowledge.

MSSNY Medical Student and Resident/Fellow members are invited to submit abstracts that will be considered for poster presentation.  You MUST BE a MSSNY MEMBER to participate. Please note that medical student membership requires enrollment in an LCME or COCA accredited school. However, non-LCME/COCA students doing rotations in New York hospitals may participate without membership.

1. Resident/Fellows may submit entries in one of two categories:
   1. Clinical Medicine includes basic science, quality improvement, health policy, clinical research, and medical education. Entries in this category are highly encouraged. 
   2. Clinical Vignettes involve the presentation of one or more patient encounters that illuminate unique observations of a known disease or describe a novel disease process; use of a new procedure, treatment, or medication; medical mysteries; patient, family, and physician relationships; ethical issues. These are expected to include clinical patient information such as history, physical exam, and clinical data, as well as an analysis of how such observations might contribute to existing medical or scientific knowledge.
2. Medical Students may submit abstracts of their scientific research (biochemistry/cell biology, cancer biology, clinical outcomes and healthcare improvement, immunology/infectious disease/inflammation, neurobiology/neuroscience, public health and epidemiology, radiology/imaging, surgery/biomedical engineering); clinical vignettes; or projects based in social sciences and humanities, including alternative methodologies.
