The Southern Regional Meeting (SRM) is a combined conference sponsored by the Southern Society of Clinical Investigation and its partner entities — the Southern Society of General Internal Medicine (SSGIM), the Southern Society for Pediatric Research (SSPR) and the Southern region of the American Pediatric Association and jointly presented by the Tulane Univesity Health Sciences Center, Center for Continuing Education.
The goal of the SRM is to foster research among senior and young investigators and provide a forum in which this research can be successfully submitted, discussed, debated and improved upon with respectful interactions between both peers and mentors. The SRM brings together researchers, clinicians and students to review the current research and its impact on the future of clinical investigation and medical care.
Each year, members from each organization arrive in New Orleans to further the collective body of pediatric academic medicine through presentations, symposiums and workshops.
Our team contributed a combined 43 presentations (19 oral and 24 poster presentations).
