Submission  
Who Can Participate
All current Indiana fellows in a cardiology training program are invited to present their research (past or present) during the poster session, scheduled for Saturday, October 22. Eligible posters may present recent data, case study or information that has been presented previously at a local or national meeting.  

If you choose to submit a case study, here are some guidelines to keep in mind:
1. Case reports should be of a rare, unusual, or unexpected finding in a patient;
2. The diagnosis should be known or the workup as complete as possible (all evidence as to the diagnosis should be included);
3. There should be a brief review of the literature including numbers of patients with similar findings/outcomes, risk factors, how it has been evaluated/treated, and outcomes where known;
4. The case should include as much follow-up as is available;
5. Pathology slides and supporting evidence should be included.

Judging
The abstracts will be judged in advance to select the top two abstracts for oral presentation. The rest of the accepted abstracts will be presented as posters and judged at the poster presentation on Saturday, October 22. 

Prizes
  • Oral Presentation - First and second place for the oral presentation will be awarded based on a combination of abstract content and oral presentation delivery as judged by a  panel of cardiologists from various institutions.
