SCAR 2004 Scientific Sessions

Back to Educational Program Reviewer Thank You

The scientific sessions are the heart of the meeting, and each session features moderated peer-reviewed presentations grouped into related categories.  The scientific program also features a poster and demonstration session, a new hot topic session for works in progress, and the Roger A. Bauman award for the best student paper.  The Vendor Sessions, which will be presented at noon on Friday and Saturday in the exhibit hall theatre, were reviewed with specific criteria for abstracts submitted by commercial organizations as part of the overall scientific peer-review process.   The Vendor Sessions are not eligible for CME credit.
