OVERVIEW

Southern Society for Clinical Investigation (SSCI) Southern Regional Meeting (SRM) 2021 is organized by Southern Society for Clinical Investigation (SSCI), American Federation for Medical Research (AFMR) and will be held from Feb 25 - 27, 2021.

Accreditation:
Tulane University Health Sciences Center designates this live activity for a maximum of 16 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Overview:
The Southern Regional Meeting provides the platform and forum for collaborative interdisciplinary research and clinical applications. Physicians and healthcare professionals will examine the most recent research findings in the medicine to determine and inform future research projects based on the analysis of the emerging research as well as to determine applications for clinical practice. The process of submission, presenting, defending and being open to collaborative interaction among peers is a very important part of training in academic medicine.

Statement of Need:
Clinical investigation of medical disease states and phenomena requires a collaborative forum in which senior and junior investigators can share in new technologies, therapies, topics areas, and methods of professional development.

Goal:
The purpose of the Southern Regional Meeting is to foster research among senior and young investigators and provide a forum in which this research can be successfully submitted, discussed, debated, and improved upon with respectful interactions between both peers and mentors. The Southern Regional Meeting brings together researchers, clinicians, and students to review the current research and its impact on the future of clinical investigation and medical care.

Educational Objectives:
After participating in this educational activity, the participant should be better able to effectively:
• Discuss, compare, and contrast new developments in pathophysiology of human disease with colleagues.
• Identify trends in the developing guidelines, evidence-base, state of the art and new technologies in the specialties which may affect practice management and patient treatment decisions.
• Identify new areas of investigation to inform research and improve patient care.
• Translate current research trends into insights pertaining to new approaches to prevent, treat, and/or diagnose illnesses.
• Assess research trends as they relate to the mentoring process and collaboration with colleagues and junior investigators.
