Inaugural Edward L. Keyes Resident Contest for Outstanding Case Reports

To be awarded for the best Case Report submitted by a physician in training (resident, fellow, or registrar) for presentation at the 8th World Congress of the International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology in Cancun, Mexico, January 31- February 4, 2012.

We invite you to submit original Case Reports that reflect the presentation of new ideas and original observations to the Academy membership and other attendees of the Congress. The author whose abstract receives the highest score during the review process will be awarded a scholarship by the IACD to present the full paper at the 8th World Congress of the International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology in Cancun, Mexico, January 31 – February 4, 2012.

Abstracts should be submitted before noon, CDT, August 1, 2011 via e-mail and should be no longer than 2,500 characters including spacing. Previously published material should not be submitted; however, it is acceptable if the case report has been submitted for publication but not actually published as of August 1, 2011. Applicants should not submit abstracts that include material that has been previously presented. Applications will be graded based upon the educational value of the abstract and the extent to which it presents new and significant work. The Review Committee strongly recommends that abstracts have an organized, coherent, well-thought-out, and complete presentation.

All applicants will receive e-mail notice of the Resident Case Report Review Committee’s decision by October 1, 2011.
