This first ever scientific event will bring together clinicians, biomedical research scientists (basic, translational, and clinical), and trainees (predocs, postdocs, residents, and fellows) to learn about and discuss recent advances in the broad field of musculoskeletal research. 

Objectives of the symposium include:

  •  providing a platform for early-career faculty and trainees to present their research

     

Starting on November 1 and ending on January 12, trainees and other investigators at any career stage can submit an abstract to be presented at the symposium. Top ranking abstracts will be eligible for awards and will be presented from the podium. All abstracts will be presented as a poster during 2 poster sessions (lunch and reception).
