| This pilot program is the result of a collaboration between the Southern Society for Clinical Investigation (SSCI) and the Southern AFMR. The program is designed to provide junior faculty ready access to senior faculty outside of their own institutions for mentoring and career guidance. This site will assist junior faculty in finding advisors in their area of interest. Members of SSCI and AFMR at the Associate Professor level or above have agreed to post their brief bios on the site. Junior faculty may choose one or more of these volunteers to set up a mutually agreeable time and place for a meeting during the Southern Regional Meeting held February 12-14, 2009 in New Orleans. |

| Welcome to the website of the Southern Society
for Clinical Investigation (SSCI). As stated in our mission
and vision statements, the SSCI is a regional academic society
dedicated to the advancement of medically-related research. Our major
focus, however, is on encouraging students and post-graduate trainees
(residents and fellows) to enter academic medicine and to support
junior faculty success in clinical investigation. We accomplish this
through sponsorship of an annual scientific meeting and publication
of a scientific journal (The American Journal of the Medical
Sciences).
Both of these venues are committed to helping young investigators,
providing them with avenues for scientific expression that is the
essence of academic medicine. We seek to encourage their discovery
pursuits at the meeting, and if their work comes to fruition in a
scientifically sound manner, we encourage submission of a completed
manuscript to AJMS. Both of these venues provide the necessary scientific
exposure to start a successful career in academic medicine. |
| The Southern Society for Clinical Investigation
is dedicated to the advancement of medical research and the exchange
of knowledge, information and ideas. Its members are committed to
mentoring future generations of medical investigators and promoting
careers in academic medicine. |
| The Southern Society for Clinical Investigation
will be recognized as the premier regional society supporting the
advancement of medical research by sponsoring an annual meeting,
recognizing excellence in academic medicine, developing programs
specifically to support young medical investigators, and publishing
the American Journal of the Medical Sciences. |
