GET INVOLVED.

Dedicated to the future of medicine by developing tomorrow’s leaders of medicine, SMA’s Physicians-in-Training Leadership Conference provides opportunities for Medical Students and Residents to: present their research through abstract competitions for cash awards, participate in hands-on workshops and interactive activities designed for interprofessional learning, fulfill Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements related to participation in scholarly activities, and network with colleagues from other medical schools and residency programs.

Southern Medical Association’s Virtual Abstract Competition offers medical students, residents, and fellows from all over the country an opportunity to compete for an opportunity to present their projects at the Association’s annual conference. This is a preliminary competition for the Physicians-in-Training with the top 10 oral presentations and the top 10 poster presentations from this virtual event advancing and presenting in person at SMA’s Annual Scientific Assembly.

This in-person medical trivia competition, taking place during SMA’s Annual Scientific Assembly, brings together medical students and residents to compete for monetary prizes, socialize with peers, and continue SMA’s tradition of medical excellence. This evening offers the chance to take home the coveted SMA Physicians-in-Training Medical Excellence Award. The Inaugural SMArtBowl Medical Trivia Competition was held at the Annual Scientific Assembly in 2022 and began what will be a new tradition at the meeting.

With each passing year, the number of SMA's medical student scholarships grows. You can APPLY anytime.

The SMA Physicians-in-Training Mentoring Program aims to foster development and growth of both established physician or physician-in-training mentors and physician-in-training mentees through promoting genuine, long-term relationships between individuals with differing levels of experience in the medical field. SMA is the perfect environment for such a program, given that its membership is not limited by specialty or by level of training.
