The finalists for the Young Investigator Awards will be announced during the President's Reception, which takes place Friday, May 16, 6:15 – 7:45 p.m. in Moscone Center Room 103. Join your colleagues in congratulating these young investigators and the parent institutions that support them.
Each year the Young Investigators Awards (YIA) Competition is open to any physician or scientist who is presently in a residency, fellowship, or doctoral training program, or who has been in such a program within the past three years (at time of submission).
The competition is also open to students in graduate or medical schools who are working on a problem concerned with cardiac pacing and/or electrophysiology. The applicant must be the first author of the manuscript submitted for consideration. Multiple submissions from the same sponsor are discouraged.
All submissions to the YIA Competition (note the Abstract Submission Site closed on January 4, 2008) are reviewed by the YIA Sub-Committee (part of the Scientific Sessions Committee and comprised of senior researchers, clinicians and scientists), who then select six finalists to present their work during Heart Rhythm 2008.
The Young Investigators Awards Presentation is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Medtronic, Inc.
