Society of Toxicologic Pathology (STP) Student Speaker Award

The Society of Toxicologic Pathology is pleased to announce the creation of a new award to encourage students to pursue careers in the field of Toxicologic Pathology.  The award recipient will receive free registration plus $1,000 to be used for lodging and travel to the 2007 STP Annual Meeting, which will take place June 10-14, 2007 in Rio Mar, Puerto Rico.

The award will be given to the resident or graduate student whose oral platform presentation is judged best among five finalists in a special session at the Annual Concurrent Meetings of the American Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology (ASVCP) and the American College of Veterinary Pathology (ACVP), to be held December 2-6, 2006, in Tucson, Arizona. 

The five finalists will be selected by the judges from abstracts submitted to the ASVCP/ACVP meeting.

To be eligible to compete for this award:

• Students must have obtained a degree in veterinary medicine and be enrolled in a residency or graduate program in toxicologic pathology/general pathology/clinical pathology or a related discipline. 
• The oral presentation must describe original work of the competitor involving clinical or experimental research that relates to toxicologic pathology.  The presentation content may include in vitro or in vivo studies. 

The award selection will be determined by an independent panel of judges and will be based on the following:

1. The scientific content of the presentation
2. Composition of the abstract
3. Clarity of presentation, and the presenter’s ability to answer questions

Trainees in clinical and/or morphologic pathology are encouraged to apply for the award.
