While external dissemination is not an S&D requirement, we hope and anticipate that many students will have the opportunity to share information from their projects through publications, posters, and/or oral presentations. In thinking about potential venues for publication, you might consider the top journals for physicians-in-training. The blog Academic Life in Emergency Medicine has a template for writing a successful journal manuscript.
In certain Tracks, more innovative forms of scholarly dissemination are strongly encouraged. Some examples of these non-traditional forms of sharing knowledge include the creation of video, internet resources, or policy narratives, among many others!
Student-Oriented Research Poster Sessions
Looking for meetings that cater to student projects in a wide area of domains, covering any of the S&D Tracks? The following list includes some conferences that try that sponsor large student-only posters sessions. Please remember that your mentor is the best person to ask about conference opportunies. Note that while mentors often encourage students to submit to professional specialty society conferences, this list does not include any of these meetings.
Students are eligible for up to $500 toward conference travel funding support per academic year. To be considered for travel funding support, please complete the Student Travel Funding Support Form. Although Pritzker cannot guarantee that every student will be funded, nor that the general allocation will cover the entire travel expense and program fees, Pritzker's goal is to provide funding relief to as many students as possible. Given that conference travel funding support is limited, be sure to discuss with your mentor which conferences may be most beneficial for you to attend.
