Faculty and trainees are invited to submit abstracts for presentation in the poster session. We ask that the poster presenters have their posters mounted on Tuesday, January 29, 2008 by 12 noon to ensure that the judges have ample time to review the work. We also ask that presenters be at their posters at noon.
