Who Can Participate
All current West Virginia fellows in a cardiology training program are invited to present their research (past or present) during the poster session, scheduled for Saturday, November 20. 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:
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.
Here is a good reference for putting together a case report.
Judging
The accepted abstracts will be presented as posters and judged at the poster presentation on Saturday, November 20.

Winners will be announced on Saturday, November 20, at the end of the meeting.
