Wednesday, March 29, 2000: Resident & Fellow Scientific Session
1:30-5:00 PM
Outstanding abstract submissions from residents and fellows will be presented at the Resident and Fellow Scientific Session. Each abstract will be reviewed by a distinguished SAGES member, who will offer guidance for young surgeons on their specific research projects and the surgical topic in general. Each presentation will then be opened to the audience for further questions and suggestions. This session is an ideal opportunity for surgeons-in training to evaluate the work of fellow young surgeons. Experienced surgeons are also encouraged to attend to offer their surgical acumen to residents who are rising to the top of the field.
