From the APSA
Meeting Planning Committee,
APSA is pleased to invite you to its
2nd Annual meeting to be
held in Chicago, IL on April 28-30,
2006. In conjunction with the
American Society for Clinical
Investigation, Association of
American Physicians, the Central
Society for Clinical Research, and
the Midwestern Section of the
American Federation for Medical
Research, we are delighted to bring
you a stellar combined meeting for
APSA members. The APSA Annual
Meeting is being held in conjunction
with the ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting and
the CSCR/MWAFMR Combined Annual
Meeting.
APSA members will have two
opportunities to present their
scientific research at this combined
meeting. The first opportunity will
be the CSCR/MWAFMR Poster Session on
Friday, April 28, 2006. Abstracts
submitted for this poster session
will be published in the Journal of
Investigative Medicine. The second
opportunity will be at the ASCI
Poster Session on Saturday, April
29, 2006. At this poster session,
you will be able to present your
research to the ASCI and AAP members
who are amongst the leading
physician-scientists in the country
and span across every sector ranging
from academia, to the NIH, and the
industry.
The combined meeting schedule listed below are all events
that have been extended to APSA
members and are included as part of
your registration to the APSA
meeting. Each event on the agenda
has been labeled with its sponsoring
organization. This combined meeting
provides a unique opportunity for
MD-PhD students to interact not only
with each other but more importantly
with leading physician-scientists
from across the country and world as
well as other younger
physician-scientists. Several
opportunities have been provided to
attendees to address their career
development issues through informal
social sessions, panel discussions,
and Morning Mentoring Breakfasts.
The APSA portion of the meeting along with the ASCI/AAP Joint
Meeting will be held at the Fairmont
Hotel. The Fairmont Hotel is
located in downtown Chicago on the
northern edge across from the
Millennium Park. The CSCR/MWAFMR
combined annual meeting, where APSA
has one joint keynote speaker, will
be held at the Mid-America Club
(which is attached to the Fairmont
Hotel).
On behalf of the 2006 APSA Annual Meeting Planning Committee,
we have worked diligently to bring
you a meeting that is not only full
of stellar speakers but also gives
you the opportunity to be exposed to
the wide myriad of career
opportunities available to
physician-scientists. Speakers
represent every major field of
medicine, academia, NIH, and
industry. These renowned speakers
include Nobel Laureates, Albert
Lasker Laureates, Wolf Prize
Recipients, National Medal of
Science Recipients, NIH Institute
Directors, Department Chairs, and
Howard Hughes Medical Investigators.
Registration is now available
through our website:
http://www.physicianscientists.org/Registration.html.
Upon registration, you will receive
a registration confirmation and
further instructions regarding
Abstract Submission information. We
look forward to seeing all of you
this spring in Chicago.

From the
ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting Planning
Committee,
The American Society
for Clinical Investigation and the
Association of American Physicians
are pleased to invite you to the
ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting. The ASCI and
AAP are longstanding honor societies
committed to mentoring the next
generation of physician-scientists.
Through their annual meeting, the
societies offer M.D.-Ph.D. students
and those very early in their
careers an opportunity to meet and
receive advice from leaders in their
fields. The meeting provides open
question-and-answer panels on Friday
and, new for 2006, a Morning
Mentorship Breakfast on both
Saturday and Sunday. The breakfasts
are excellent forums for discussion
with senior physician-scientists of
a range of topics related to your
academic and clinical interests,
your career concerns, and more.
Of course, you'll
also be able to hear talks from
distinguished scientists whose work
is at the frontiers of medicine,
disease research, and patient care.
You'll also be able to discuss your
work at the meeting's Poster
Session, meet fellow M.D.-Ph.D.
students, and be among an elite
group of physician-scientists
gathered in one place. It's an
invaluable experience -- and as an
APSA member, there is no cost for
you to attend. We hope you'll make
the time to meet with us in Chicago.
We look forward to seeing you there.
On behalf of the
ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting Planning
Committee,
Eric R. Fearon,
2005-2006 ASCI President |

From the
CSCR/MWAFMR Combined Annual Meeting Planning
Committee,

Research (CSCR) and the Midwestern

Annual Meeting on April 28, 2006 at
The Mid-America Club in downtown
Chicago.
CSCR and MWAFMR will
extend complimentary registration to
those APSA members who are students,
