Description
The Langman Graduate Student Platform Presentation Award is offered by the American Association for Anatomy (AAA) and sponsored by Anatomical Record. It recognizes research presented orally at Anatomy Connected by graduate students and medical, dental, or veterinary students. The competition prioritizes research-focused, non-descriptive presentations, although descriptive submissions are encouraged.
Evaluation emphasizes scientific quality, the importance of the research, and the scientific process. The Committee for Early-Career Anatomists (CECA) uses blind abstract review and scoring to identify platform finalists within each academic level. Recognition includes certificates, monetary awards, and meeting-expense reimbursement. Competition awards are presented at the Closing Awards Ceremony, and finalists receive a complimentary ticket.
