| Call for Papers - Charting the Bench and the Bedside: National Conference for Physician-Scholars Posted: 18 Jan 2011 08:05 AM PST Charting the Bench and the Bedside: Fourth Biennial Conference Held within the American Physician Scientists Association (APSA) Annual Meeting. The National Conference for Physician-Scholars in the Social Sciences and Humanities is a biennial meeting of MD/PhD graduates and trainees whose work focuses on the intersections of the social sciences and humanities with medicine and health. The purpose of this conference is to provide a venue for MD/PhD graduates and trainees to share their scholarship; to connect trainees with established physician-scholars; and to foster dialogue and stewardship over the issues, work, and careers in which humanities and social science physician-scholars engage. The coordinating committee invites you to submit an abstract of original research for presentation at our April 2011 meeting in Chicago. Research presentations will feature physician-scholars and trainees working in a wide range of disciplines. Preference will be given to research which seeks to integrate clinical and scholarly perspectives in a meaningful way, and which addresses the many articulations among health, culture, and society. We are particularly interested in highlighting the work of trainees and recent graduates, though we encourage individuals at all career stages to submit. Presentations may take the form of a 15-20 minute talk or a research poster. Please submit only one abstract, indicating the format in which you would like to present. We ask that you limit your submission to 350 words, and that you specify your primary research question, your methodological orientation, and your general conclusions. Those not selected for research talks will remain eligible for the poster session. The deadline for abstract submission is February 1st, 2011. Instructions for registration are available on our conference blog: http://physicianscholars.blogspot.com We welcome your comments and questions via email: physicianscholars@gmail.com.  |
