Reason #6: New SSAT Foundation Awards Reception

At this year’s Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, the former SSAT Members Reception will transform into the SSAT Foundation Awards Reception. This new event will recognize the recipients of the 2015 Career Development Award, Fischer International Traveling Fellowship for Surgeons in Academic Practice, DeMeester Traveling Fellowship for Surgeons within the U.S. or Canada, Mentored Research Awards, Warshaw Master Educator Award, and Rikkers Master Clinician Award, as well as the recipients of the 2015 Residents and Fellows Research Conference Plenary Presentation Prizes. In addition, the Reception will highlight what the SSAT Foundation has accomplished by looking back at past recipients of the Career Development Award, which, since its inception in 1987, has fostered the careers of over 27 outstanding surgeon-scientists.
