Residents Day – Saturday, October 10
Are you an OD in a 2020/2021 residency program? Do you have a grand rounds case that you would like to share with the audience at Academy 2020 Nashville?
Current residents are invited to submit grand rounds cases for presentation as both papers and posters. The resident must have been directly involved in the patient care of the case being presented. The resident does not have to initiate care but must have examined the patient.
Please Note: Poster presentations will only be in virtual format. The first authors will have the option to present accepted papers either in person at the convention center or virtually via teleconferencing. However, paper presentations will be available for viewing virtually to the audience not present at the convention center only with the author’s prior consent.
All presenters will be sent a short survey via email requesting their preferred presentation format before their abstract acceptance decision is announced. Authors will have the option to withdraw their abstract without penalty if the assigned presentation format does not conform with their preferred format in the survey.
RESIDENT TRAVEL FELLOWSHIPS
Residents, please consider applying to receive a Resident Travel Fellowship once your abstract is accepted. These $750 awards are available to optometric residents who have a paper or poster accepted in the Residents Day program. The RTF application window will open on August 10.
