Pediatrics Strongly Represented at 2023 Southern Regional Meeting
LSU Pediatrics was well represented at this year’s Southern Regional Meeting, held earlier this year at the New Orleans Hotel Intercontinental.
Dr. Kathryn Cyrus received the SSPR Trainee Travel Award. Dr. Anne Tufton received the Southern Society for Pediatric Research (SSPR) Young Faculty Travel
Award and was invited to present her work at the SSCI/SSPR joint Showcase of Science
(one of only six presentations selected for this honor).
Trainees and faculty representing LSU Pediatrics delivered a total of 30 presentations including 15 oral presentations. A list of titles is included below. Abstracts were published online by the American Journal of the Medical Sciences which can be accessed at the link provided here.
Our trainees were well prepared thanks to a formal mentoring session developed by Dr. Bonnie Desselle and hosted by Children’s Hospital. At this session, 11 trainees (medical students, residents, and fellows) signed up to present a “practice” version of their platform presentation. Each trainee received formal feedback from at least two faculty members in addition to immediate verbal feedback from the audience (faculty and trainees). Many trainees voiced that they found the session incredibly valuable.
Several pediatrics faculty held leadership roles at the SRM. Dr. Marcie Houser, as a member of the Academic Pediatric Association, served as an Abstract Reviewer and moderated the Adolescent Medicine and Pediatrics Symposium. As a member of the SSPR, Dr. Julie Gallois served as Lead Abstract Reviewer for Neonatology, Moderator for Neonatal Case Reports Symposium, and Poster Session Mentor. She also represented LSU Pediatrics as our Institutional Representative. Dr. Luke Wall served as SSPR Council Member, Trainee Travel Award Judge, Abstract Reviewer and Symposium Moderator for Allergy/Immunology, and Poster Session Mentor.
New SSPR members include Dr. Andrew Abreo and Dr. Christy Mumphrey.
