FALL 2026 MEDICAL STUDENT PARTICIPATION INFORMATION:

If slots are not completely filled by TDS Resident Members, the TDS board will select up to three medical student podium submissions to present in-person at this year’s meeting. The TDS will know closer to the date of the meeting if any medical student podiums will be shown in-person. Medical Students and Research Fellows are welcome to submit in both the poster and podium competitions. However, priority will go to TDS Member Residents. All medical student/research fellow poster submissions will be accepted and will be presented virtually. There is a $25 poster fee regardless of presentation format and no refunds will be given.

TDS IS GOING Green! The TDS will not be offering a paper syllabus at the fall 2026 meeting
