Conference Notes #2

APPA's Fall Educational Conference to be held virtually
Because of the continued spread of COVID-19, APPA's Executive Council has decided to conduct the fall conference virtually on Saturday, Oct. 10. Given the current situation and keeping the health and safety of our attendees in mind, they believe conducting the conference virtually is the responsible action.
A grant from the American Psychiatric Association is providing free meeting registration for Early Career Psychiatrists*, Resident Fellow Members and students! 
*Early Career Psychiatrists are General Members of the APA who are within their first seven years after completion of training.

Virtual Poster Contest
In conjunction with the October conference, APPA will host a Virtual Resident/Medical Student Poster Contest. Residents and students who are interested in participating are asked to coordinate with a faculty member in preparing a poster for the meeting. 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!
Send abstracts to lengeriser@altapointe.org by September 18.
Posters will be submitted in PDF format in advance of the conference, along with a short introductory video (see example). Submissions will be compiled to be viewed and voted on by conference participants. The top three submissions will be awarded cash prizes.
More information will be available soon.
