USCAP New Orleans

Anyone given any thought to this?

The deadline for abstracts is September 19, 2005.

Since I will still be recovering from Paris at that point, I highly doubt I will have anything worthy of a new abstract.

I might have to invoke The Rule to be there next year - but it's New Orleans!

[b&ierstiefel]

as of now, probably not. but realistically speaking, i expected this.

 

[yaah]

I think the deadline is too early anyway. I will probably have an abstract by then but who really knows.

I'm submitting 2 abstracts this year. Hopefully one will get accepted for platform.

 

[stormjen]

I am planning to submit an abstract, but of course don't know if it will be accepted. Since I may be applying for a competitive fellowship down the road, I want to get started early.

 

[deschutes]

Here, we get one non-presenting (for lack of a better phrase) conference paid for in the 4 years of training.

Depending on how things work out I might use it for New Orleans, since the years PGY-2 and up would/should probably have higher levels of productivity...

There's no way I'll be able to get an abstract in by that time. I'd love to go anyway, but I have a feeling that so many people are going to be presenting that I'll need to stay home and cover for them. Ah well..maybe next year.

Let's see... I'll be on... clinical chemistry! 😀

Unfortunately, my project hit a brick wall so I already know I won't have a poster/platform but I still plan to be there!

 

[bananaface]

Are your meeting posters as lame as our meeting posters?

<--- Blood bank.

Wail away. Instead of micro, I'll be doing transfusion after I finish these 3 months of hemepath.

All this gore right up front is going to have some profound effect on my psyche - I just know it.

Since I only got around to seeing maybe 10% of the posters (I was studying for Step 2 CS) and actually understood perhaps 3% of them... I couldn't quite call them "lame" 🙂

I'm told USCAP presentations tend to highlight stuff that's going to be published in a few years.

Is it possible to find out what categories poster topics can fall into. I found out recently that my latest manuscript (on a basic science topic based on a collaborative project peripherally applicable to pathology but not under a specific organ system) got accepted and am thinking of submitting an abstract.

I'll be on a surg path week during the meeting but I may be able to switch with someone so that I get an "Independent Study" week instead.

Modern Pathology has an issue that comes out sometime around USCAP which is entirely consisting of the USCAP abstracts - it's kind of interesting to see it. And you can look up your favorite authors in the index and see who has the most. I remember seeing one of the residents where I did my PSF had like 4 and I was like, "WTF, he was lazy!"

 

[deschutes]

What I haven't figured out is how people with multiple first-author posters manage to be in two places at once... 😕

Andy have you looked at the website? (uscap.org) Abstract submission is electronic and though you need to sign up, they're probably hiding the list of categories there.

I wasn't the one who physically clicked "Submit" so unfortunately I don't have first-hand experience with the system.

Word. I looked at the website but it didn't answer my questions.

 

[deschutes]

Well, what I actually meant was that if you registered to submit an abstract, there should be a pull-down list of categories available (at least from my vague recollection of a print-out of the submission page).

USCAP sucks and New Orleans is an overrated city that reeks like urine and vomit.

I wish pathology had some cooler meetings.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Bah. F*ck it. I think I'll opt for ASCB instead.

 

[deschutes]

Where's that going to be?

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Where's that going to be?

San Francisco

 

[bananaface]

San Francisco

When?

Awww. 3 months too early for me! I'll be in SF in March for a pharmacy convention.

 

[yaah]

USCAP has now been moved to the Ultimate Urban and SubUrban Sprawl that is Atlanta. Oh well.

Don't act coy yaah. We all know you're looking forward to hitting up the Cheetah club.

 

[yaah]

It's true, I am tall so therefore I could probably pretend I was a basketball player and the strippers might believe me.

 

[deschutes]

I think the stars are trying very hard to tell me I am not intended to go to New Orleans.

I agree with this assessment. 🙂

Are you in Paris right now?

 

[deschutes]

I agree with this assessment. 🙂

No, I've made it home. Home, where it's a great deal more restful and I can have my bit of river and lake and grass!

Went in to work on Friday. Service is being slammed.

Attending goes "Oh it's deschutes! Welcome back! Get to work!

Did you have a good time?

 

[deschutes]

It was certainly interesting. We got the presentation out of the way last Sunday and so I didn't feel too obligated to hang around the conference centre too much 😀

I'd emerge from a Metro station (I seem to spend my life figuring out the subway systems of various countries) and BANG! There'd be the Louvre, or Notre-Dame, or the Paris Opera House. It was stuff that you'd seen in books from childhood, but larger than life and ten times more real.

I was quite surprised to find I had some French vocabulary - it must be the 3 years' worth of grocery-shopping in Canada (packages have English/Français there, kinda like the English/Español here).

I can't post pictures very efficiently, but here is the smallest consumer car I have ever seen:
