NOTE: New Concurrent Session in 2018 --CASE REPORTS—LESSONS LEARNED
The Western Societies of Medicine encourage submission of high quality, instructive case reports by medical students, residents, fellows, and faculty. Case reports will be judged on how clinical investigation of the patient’s disease process educates and/or extends medical knowledge. The best abstracts, regardless of sub-specialty focus, will form one dedicated ‘CASE REPORT’ concurrent session. Selected abstracts will be published. We encourage your consideration of submission of instructive cases. Please choose Case Report as the category choice and case report template on the ScholarOne website
