Where can I present a medical education poster asap?

[nauru]

Just trying to check a box for my school. Need to do a poster at a peer reviewed conference somewhere. The project is done, the paper is done. Doesn't matter where the conference is, could be regional national or international, small, medium or large, domestic or foreign.

Is there any central database for these types of conferences worldwide? I would even do a student conference if it would check the box for my school.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Anyone else find it sad we need threads like this? There should just be a system that allows PIs or some other official body to certify "upcoming" pubs rather than rushing around to present something so we can slap it on a resume. It really degrades the research quality.

I've got a co-author pub and a 1st-author pub that have been rolling around in the submission-revision cycle for quite a while now. Depending on the reviewers and the journal, this process can be immediate or take literal years. We actually considered just putting the papers up on bioarXiv just so it could pop up on my biosketch for fellowship applications. Ultimately we ended up just mentioning that the papers were submitted elsewhere, but it's crazy we need to even have these conversations.

Chorda, what was forcing you to submit to a conference, did your program require it?

I didn't need (or want) another presentation on my CV, but my medical school has a special requirement for the research part of the curriculum. You have to present your project at a conference; publishing it isn't enough. Weird requirement, since standards for journals are generally way higher than standards for conferences. But I don't make the rules, and that one has to be fulfilled in order to graduate. The paper is currently going through peer-review, and I have it listed as submitted on my CV. I didn't think anyone would really question that. If they want to see the manuscript all they have to do is ask me for it.
