Description
The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) offers this poster competition at Anatomy Connected, sponsored by Anatomical Sciences Education. It recognizes education or teaching presentations by eligible graduate and professional students, postdoctoral fellows, and medical residents or interns. The award is part of AAA’s broader student and postdoctoral presentation competitions, and eligible participants may also receive separate meeting travel support.
Research-focused, non-descriptive presentations receive priority over descriptive work. Descriptive submissions are encouraged, but research is evaluated using the scientific process. Selection combines blind abstract review with scored poster presentations, emphasizing scientific quality, importance, clear research aims, organized methods, and findings that support the interpretation and implications.
