2023 IAFP Research Day


The 2023 IAFP Research Day will be held at the Ritz Charles Ballrooms in Carmel, IN, on Thursday, May 18. At this event, IAFP members (including student, resident, active, and life members) are invited to present original research projects, performance improvement projects, and case reports. Cash prizes are awarded at the end of the day by a panel of judges. 

The abstract judging process has now been completed. Members who submitted an abstract have been notified of the judges' decision and sent further instructions. A complete detailed agenda will be available to registrants on the day.
