| The West Virginia
Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics, is
sponsoring a resident research contest. Any
physician enrolled in an approved Pediatric or
Combined Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Training
Program in West Virginia is eligible to participate.
Rules:
- Research must be
performed during residency, and not during
protected research time during residency. (A
month-long research elective during the course
of a residency is fine)
- Research can
take many forms, including case reports and case
series, retrospective analyses, clinical trials,
and laboratory studies.
- The resident
should have participated in the project to
legitimately claim first authorship when/if the
manuscript is published.
- An abstract of
no more than 250 words should be submitted by
January 31 for that year's contest. One copy of
the abstract should include names and
affiliations of the authors, and 3 additional
copies should be submitted with names and
affiliations removed (see examples).
- Pediatricians
from outside of West Virginia will review the
abstracts. Some of the attributes that will be
assessed are originality, importance of the
topic to practicing pediatricians, and
readability.
- The authors of
the top 3 abstracts will each give a 10-minute
presentation at the annual Spring meeting of the
West Virginia Chapter.
First, Second
and Third Place
will be determined by the quality of
presentations at the Spring Meeting. Plaques and
monetary prizes ($300, $200, $100) will be
awarded at the meeting.

Attendance at Noon
Conference in a Pediatric Residency- Effect of Hot
vs. Cold Food. C Amador, M Weisse, J Whitten; Dept
of Pediatrics, West Virginia Food Institute,
Flatwoods , WV. It is often difficult to coerce
residents to attend noon conference (NC) at a rate
acceptable to the RRC. The lure of food has been
demonstrated anecdotally to increase resident
attendance. We designed a study to evaluate the
difference in attendance at NC comparing bologna
