Smiths Medical/GASACT Poster Prize

Submit an original poster to be in the running to win $1000! This is the only prize which is available ONLY to GASACT trainees. All other prizes are available to junior Consultants. This prize is not mutually exclusive so you are still eligible for all the other prizes on offer by the ASA. So get that formal project and submit it as an abstract for consideration. You must be a GASACT member to qualify. Details can be found at www.asa.org.au.

The Smiths Medical/GASACT Poster Prize will be presented on Sunday 30 September at the GASACT Social Evening.
