ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting A Message from the Planning Committee The Association of American Physicians and the American Society for Clinical Investigation are pleased to invite you to the ASCI/AAP 2010 Joint Meeting, April 23-25, 2010, at the Fairmont in Chicago, Illinois. The theme of this year's meeting is Cell Biology, Signaling, and Human Disease. The opening scientific session is followed by the traditional Welcome Reception and the ASCI Dinner, at which the ASCI's new members will be introduced. The scientific program on Saturday begins with a plenary session in the morning. The afternoon begins with the Poster Session, and a second plenary session after which several new members of the AAP and ASCI will present their work. Honorific presentations follow, moving from their traditional home on Sunday morning: the AAP presents its Kober Medal, and the ASCI bestows the 2010 Stanley J. Korsmeyer Award. The afternoon concludes with the AAP Presidential Address, delivered by Dr. Ralph I. Horwitz, and the ASCI Presidential Address, delivered by Dr. Jonathan Epstein. The AAP Member Dinner follows Saturday evening. On Sunday, the American Physician Scientists Association chairs a session that combines top presenters from the meeting's Poster Session with invited lectures. This change from the traditional schedule is one that we feel will greatly increase the focus on students in the physician-scientist career path and on early-career investigators. We encourage you to stay through Sunday morning to support the next generation of physician-scientists and to hear what are certain to be engaging presentations and lectures. The Planning Committee is working to produce an outstanding program, and we remind you that the meeting is open not only to AAP and ASCI members -- anyone in the physician-scientist career path will find this meeting encouraging and stimulating. We hope you'll join us in Chicago for an excellent weekend. 2010 ASCI/AAP Joint Meeting Planning Committee
