On behalf of the American Physician Scientists Association, we are pleased to pre-announce the meeting date for our 3rd Annual Meeting for APSA to be held at the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago, IL. This meeting will continue to be held in conjunction with the American Society for Clinical Investigation / Association of American Physicians Joint Meeting.

Please save the dates of April 13-15, 2007!! We look forward to seeing you out there. The meeting is open to all those interested in pursuing a physician-scientists career. As always, this combined meeting brings together the current leading physician-scientists (ASCI/AAP) from across the country together with the future leaders of medicine (APSA). This is a unique opportunity that brings cutting edge research provided through our partner organizations but more importantly provides a forum for unparalleled mentorship and career development opportunities.

Please check our website at http://www.physicianscientists.org/Meetings.html for an agenda. A tentative agenda will be posted in the early fall.

APSA is pleased to invite you to its 3rd Annual meeting to be held in Chicago, IL on April 13-15, 2007. The APSA Annual Meeting is being held in conjunction with the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Central Society for Clinical Research, and the Midwestern Section of the American Federation for Medical Research. On behalf of APSA, ASCI/AAP and CSCR/MWAFMR, we are delighted to bring you a stellar meeting filled with phenomenal speakers, numerous career development and mentorship events, and several opportunities to gain an invaluable perspective on possible career paths available to physician-scientists.

APSA members will have two opportunities to present their scientific research at this combined meeting. The first opportunity will be the CSCR/MWAFMR Poster Session on Friday, April 13, 2007. Abstracts submitted for this poster session will be published in the Journal of Investigative Medicine. The second opportunity will be at the ASCI Poster Session on Saturday, April 14, 2007. At this poster session, you will be able to present your research to the ASCI and AAP members who are amongst the leading physician-scientists in the country and span across all sectors ranging from academia, to the NIH, and the industry.

Provided below is the combined meeting schedule which lists all of the events for which APSA registrants are entitled to attend. Each event on the agenda has been labeled with the sponsoring organization. There will be a diverse group of physician-scientists in attendance ranging from well-established clinical investigators to K08-holding junior faculty members and physician-scientists at all levels of training. This combined meeting will provide a unique opportunity for MD-PhD students and their MD counterparts to interact with their peers as well as with leading physician-scientists from across the country and the world. Several opportunities are available for attendees to address career development issues through informal social sessions, panel discussions, young investigator events, the leadership workshop, and the Morning Mentorship Breakfasts.

The APSA portion of the meeting along with the ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting will be held at the Fairmont Hotel. The Fairmont Hotel is located on the northern edge of downtown Chicago across from the Millennium Park. The CSCR/MWAFMR combined annual meeting, where APSA registrants are also invited to attend, will be held at the Hard Rock Hotel (which is 2.5 blocks from the Fairmont Hotel).

On behalf of the 2007 APSA Annual Meeting Planning Committee, we have worked diligently to bring you a meeting that is not only full of stellar speakers but also gives you the opportunity to be exposed to the wide myriad of career opportunities available to physician-scientists. Speakers represent every major field of medicine, academia, NIH, and industry. These renowned speakers include Nobel Laureates, Albert Lasker Laureates, Wolf Prize Recipients, National Medal of Science Recipients, NIH Institute Directors, Department Chairs, and Howard Hughes Medical Investigators.

The full agenda can be found on the meetings page at http://www.physicianscientists.org/Meetings/Chicago2007/. Registration is now available through our website: http://registration.physicianscientists.org. Upon registration, you will receive a registration confirmation and further instructions regarding Abstract Submission information. We look forward to seeing all of you this spring in Chicago.

The American Society for Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians are pleased to invite you to the 2007 ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting in Chicago. This is the third occasion for the ASCI and AAP to meet together with the APSA, and we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to hear from scientific leaders and to receive high-level feedback about your work. It's also an excellent mentoring environment: the meeting offers two Mentorship Breakfasts and panel sessions addressing a range of topics of special interest to M.D./Ph.D. students. You'll be able to interact with other M.D./Ph.D. students, young faculty, Department Chairs, Deans, and leading members of industry. And your attendance is free. We hope to see you at this exciting meeting.
