Trainee Best Abstract Award
NOW OPEN: Applications for the 2025 abstract award! Deadline is January 24, 2025. More info and application details are available here.
The HPHS Trainee Award is a monetary award given each year at the USCAP meeting for best abstract. Any liver abstract (poster or platform) accepted to the 2025 USCAP annual meeting with a resident or fellow as first author is eligible. Abstracts on gallbladder or extrahepatic duct pathology are more appropriately the purview of the pancreaticobiliary society.
Please follow the instructions carefully as the form must include all authors plus their “title/training level” and institution. The submitting trainee must be the first author (or the senior author, in that circumstance). The abstracts must be submitted as a Word document. At least one of the authors must be a regular HPHS member in good standing. An email confirming abstract receipt will be sent to the submitting author. If the confirmatory email is not received, please inquire with the Website Committee Chair, Dr. Adam L. Booth, badam@wustl.edu
HPHS is very committed to supporting the growth and development of all liver pathologists in training. Our abstract review process has undergone a substantial evolution to assure transparency, and to facilitate unbiased judging based on academic merit and/or clinical practice impact. We are delighted to equally consider all abstracts. Please encourage all participating trainees to stay for the USCAP HPHS annual business meeting, as winners will be announced, and certificates and monetary prizes will be distributed.
Additional questions can be directed to Chair of the Education Committee: Dr. Joseph Misdraji, joseph.misdraji@yale.edu
