Activity Information and Schedule

Course Description

The NCYIF is a unique program for clinician scientists designed to provide research and career development training through a variety of modalities, including interaction with a select group of esteemed faculty, peers, and public speaking experts. The session will include small group discussions and networking in addition to an oral presentation by each finalist.

We understand the certain academic institutions have various travel restrictions that may or may not be lifted by October, and as such, we will remain flexible and take responsive steps to leverage technology for any Young Investigators impacted by travel limitations; it is, however, our hope and goal to gather all Young Investigators and Expert Faculty Judges together in Chicago for the NCYIF.
