Committee on Research
Resident members of ASA are reminded that April 1, 1997, is the
deadline for receipt of entries in the ASA Residents' Research
Essay Contest. Three prize winners will be invited to present
their papers at the ASA Annual Meeting in San Diego, California,
in October 1997. The rules for entry are:
Eligibility
- The entrant or co-entrant(s) must be a member of ASA at the
time of submission.
- The work reported should have been completed during residency
or research fellowship training in an ACGME-accredited program
in anesthesiology. Research performed as a student may be considered.
- Papers should be submitted while in training or within one
year after completion of training.
Submission of Entry
- A letter from the residency program director confirming eligibility
must accompany each submission.
- Concurrent submission of an abstract of the work for presentation
as a regular scientific paper at the ASA meeting is required.
That submission should be prepared on the ASA abstract form
in accordance with the rules and deadlines for submission of
regular ASA scientific abstracts and submitted independent of
the essay contest application.
- Manuscripts should follow the format provided in the "Guide
for Authors" of the journal Anesthesiology. The
work should not have been presented, published or submitted
to any other meeting, journal or residents' essay contest prior
to this submission. A limit of 25 double-spaced pages, including
all figures, tables and references, will be enforced; manuscripts
that exceed the page limit will not be reviewed.
The original and 21 copies of the manuscript must be received
by April 1, 1997, in the office
of the Chair of the Committee on Research, Julien F. Biebuyck,
M.D., Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, Milton
S. Hershey Medical Center, Anesthesia Department, P.O. Box 850,
