SSCI Poster Awards

The SSCI Poster Awards recognizes excellence in poster presentations at the Southern Regional Meeting. The SSCI abstract reviewers select the best abstract in each subspecialty and submit it to the SSCI Poster Judging Committee. This committee selects the top three abstracts for final judging during the poster session by a sub-group of the Poster Judging Committee. The recipients are announced during the SSCI Plenary and a cash award is presented.
