Description

The 80th Annual Meeting of the ATA in Palm Beach will hold the 3rd Annual Basic Fellows’ Track program, a parallel and integrated basic program designed for basic post-doctoral fellows that will provide lectures and skill enhancement opportunities. In addition to participating in the regular meeting program, the fellows will attend special presentations by ATA meeting faculty focusing on basic science, grantsmanship and career development.

Objective

To encourage young investigators to submit abstracts for and participate in the 80th Annual Meeting of the American Thyroid Association (ATA).

Benefits
