Students and residents who have conducted research focused on obesity or diabetes under the mentorship of a faculty member are invited to submit an abstract to the 2nd Annual VJ Canizaro, MD Health Summit that will be held on March 11th, 2022 at Tradition Medical City, Biloxi, MS.

Please submit research conducted over the past year, even if the research has not been submitted to a national meeting. Research that has not yet been published is preferred. However, consideration will be given to research that has been published so long as it has been published only within the few months immediately preceding the Summit.

Selected submissions will be placed in a program booklet for attendees to view and will also be placed on the conference website. The top abstract, as determined by the NDORI Judging Committee, will be offered the opportunity to present their research via an oral presentation at the Summit.

Please submit abstracts to Emily Foret at the National Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute (NDORI) via e-mail at [email protected] by 5 pm by February 11th, 2022. The abstracts that are selected will be notified on Friday, February 25th, 2022.
