The inaugural APSA meeting was held in Chicago, IL on April 15-17, 2005.  This meeting is being held in conjunction with the ASCI / AAP Joint Meeting.  Attendees will have the opportunity to present their scientific research at the ASCI Poster Session.  APSA views the ASCI meeting to be an integral part of attending the APSA meeting as it equally values the interactions between budding physician-scientists and current leading physician-scientists.  Below you will find the combined tentative agenda for the meeting.

Each event is labeled with its sponsoring organization.  Please note that the ASCI Meeting will take place at the Fairmont Hotel (April 15,16) while the APSA Meeting will take place on Northwestern University Chicago Campus (April 17).  These two locations are about 3/4 of a mile apart in downtown Chicago.
