Call for Abstracts
In conjunction with the Spring Conference, APPA will host a Resident/Medical Student Poster Contest.

The posters are assigned abstract numbers and are published on the APPA website so they count as “Published Abstracts” on your CV. This is a very easy way to build your academic portfolio!
