My friend is an international medical student. Can he submit his abstract for the conference? Will they review it and will conference officials offer him a travel grant??

Thanks for catching that one ... this always happens ... brain thinks one thing and finger are typing something else!

All trainees are encouraged to submit abstracts from undergrads through residents/fellows.

Thanks for answering my question! And I'm assuming being a non-member does not affect the chances of your winning a travel award?

I'm not sure where else to post this...

I'm looking for a male roommate to split hotel costs at the Fairmont for Fri - Sun for the 2009 APSA / ASCI / AAP meeting. Unfortunately the room is has a king bed (they didn't have any doubles available). I'm normal and don't smoke / snore / smell bad. I had a friend bail on the trip last minute, and really don't want to eat the $260/night hotel bill on my own. Please contact me at sorenmj [at] gmail.com if interested.

Thanks!
