On behalf of Dr. Bernard Karnath:

Dear Students,
The 4th Annual Osler Symposium is on Saturday, April 24th in HEC 1.200/1.202. The 57th Annual American Osler Society Meeting is in Philadelphia, PA from May 14 – 17, 2027. For both meetings, you must have a faculty sponsor for your abstract. Please use the link below to submit your abstract. Please also plan to attend one of our Abstract Writing Workshops in HEC 3.206 on either Thursday, August 27, or Wednesday, September 9. These workshops are designed to help you develop a stronger, more competitive abstract and support your success in the submission process. Both workshops will take place from 12-1pm and lunch will be provided.
If you are also interested in in submitting an abstract to the 57th Annual Meeting of the American Osler Society (AOS) you must submit your abstract for review by the Osler Scholars by October 1st to be considered. A limited number of abstracts will be approved for submission to the AOS national meeting. The deadline for submission to the AOS is November 15th. We will notify you in advance of the November 15th deadline if you abstract is approved. If your abstract is not put forth, you will still have an opportunity to be considered for the 4th Annual Osler Symposium here at UTMB. Please do not submit an abstract to the AOS annual meeting without approval from the McGovern Academy.
Sincerely,
Bernard Karnath, M.D.
Director of the Osler Student Societies of the
