Abstract Submission
Marriott Marco Island Resort and Golf Club
Marco Island, Florida
June 4-7, 2005
You can view some photos from this year's Presidential Run.
As the Shock Society moves from the beautiful rocky northeast coast of Canada to warm sandy beaches of southeast Florida, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you to attend the 28th Annual Conference on Shock. This coming year we return to one of the memberships favorite past retreats, the Marco Island Marriott Resort. The annual meeting, being organized by Dr. Basil Pruitt, not only combines the best of ongoing basic science and clinical research on shock and trauma, but also represents an excellent opportunity to retreat from our day-to-day lives and discuss science in a beautiful resort environment.
The scientific portion of the meeting will consist of the President-elects, Richard S. Hotchkiss’s keynote address, three symposia, two workshops, a new investigator competition, a new investigator forum, poster sessions, four mini-symposia with speakers selected from submitted abstracts and this year we will initiate an inaugural Shock Society Keynote Lecture. Basil Pruitt has put together a wonderful program. There will be two workshops at this meeting, the first workshop will deal with Essentials for clinical and laboratory studies of shock. The second workshop will deal with Organ-specific responses to shock. Three symposia will be held entitled: 1) Irregularity of Physiologic Regularity, 2) Control Mechanisms of Apoptosis and Necrosis – A Common Pathway or Alternate Routes and lastly, 3) Innate and Immune Interactions (see Details). In addition, an inaugural Shock Society Lecture will be given by Michael B. Yaffe, MD, PhD of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA.
Abstracts must conform to the instructions explicitly. Information regarding the submission of abstracts can be found on page 8. Abstracts will be prepared by a direct reproduction of the abstract you submit electronically. Abstract web page <http://www.c-upgrades.com/shock/>. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is JANUARY 28, 2005.
NOTE: A $20 USD abstract handling fee will be required for each submitted abstract, which can be paid by credit card on-line at time of abstract submission or by a check. Failure to do so will disqualify abstract consideration by the program committee.
These competitions are open to pre-doctoral students (MD, PhD, DVM., DO and DDS) and postdoctoral trainees with no more than 2 years postdoctoral research training (SHOCK2005 NIC-Trav Awards.pdf). Please be sure to check the appropriate box on the abstract form and include a) curriculum vitae, b) brief letter from adviser guaranteeing the participant's eligibility, senior role in the project and that no part of the study will be presented at a national or international meeting prior to the Shock Conference, and c) statement of need for travel assistance, if requested. If you do not check the Travel Award Box, your abstract will not be considered for a Travel Award.
Important Note: Applications received after the deadline or are incomplete will not be considered for the awards.
