Additional accepted abstracts will be invited to give a poster presentation, also during the conference. Logistics regarding format for both oral and poster presentations will be sent with acceptance emails.
Timing and Submissions
Research may represent work in progress or may have been previously submitted for publication or presentation at a national meeting in 2025.

The competition is part of a regional meeting and, clearly, will not preclude the resident from submitting the research in a future endeavor. Please note: a maximum of three submissions will be considered per first author. If more than three are submitted, only the first three submissions will be reviewed. Research is to be submitted electronically via Oxford Abstracts by February 25, 2025. Paper and emailed copies will not be accepted.

- All anesthesiology residents are eligible to enter the competition who are enrolled in a training program in Pennsylvania.
- Residents entering the competition must have significantly participated in the research endeavor (to be confirmed by their training program).
