2005 POSTER PROGRAM

Posters may be set up between 9:00 am – 10:30 am on Sunday, May 15th.  Posters will be displayed in the Exhibit Hall. Posters should be no bigger than 4 feet by 4 feet.

This year, we have assigned faculty to review the posters and select the top 4-6 in the following categories: Basic Science, Clinical, Endocrine, and Reconstruction. Please make sure your poster is up no later than 10:30 am so that the faculty can include it in their review. The selected posters will be noted outside of the main session room on Sunday afternoon. Then, between 6:30 pm – 7:00 pm on Sunday, May 15th, the top 4-6 posters in each topic will be highlighted during the “Poster Tours”. The authors of these posters will discuss their poster with the Tour Guide and attendees.
