2023 Retreat

 

2023 UCSF CCMBM, REACH & Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Scientific Retreat - A Picture of Pain: Advancement in Management and Treatment

This scientific event, entitled “A Picture of Pain: Advances in Management and Treatment”, brings together researchers, clinicians, and patients to explore the mechanistic foundations of pain science and how they intersect with musculoskeletal biology. Preeminent speakers from the Bay Area and throughout the country will join together to share cutting edge pain research and management frameworks across the biological, rehabilitative, imaging, and epidemiologic sciences. Distinguished guests include Dr. Kathleen Sluka of the University of Iowa; NCCIH Director Dr. Helene Langevin; members of the UCSF Pain and Addiction Research Center; and members of the Integrated Pain Team of the SF VA Health Care System.

Please join us for this special two-day retreat sponsored by the NIH P30 Core Center for Musculoskeletal Biology and Medicine (CCMBM), REACH, and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. We will convene in-person for this year's event at UCSF's Mission Bay Campus, Genentech Hall, 600 16th St, San Francisco, CA 94158.

What is it?

The Core Center for Musculoskeletal Biology and Medicine (CCMBM) Young Investigator Slam Competition at UCSF challenges trainees to present a compelling presentation of their research in three minutes or less, using language that not only their peers but also non-specialists will understand. The purpose of this Slam is meant to incentivize trainees to clarify their ideas and to help others understand and appreciate the significance of their work.


Live Event

The CCMBM Young Investigator Slam Competition will be an in-person event that will take place on Tuesday, February 28, 2023, 7:00 PM, at the Genentech Auditorium (Mission Bay Campus). This event is a celebration not only of the finalists and competition winners, but also to highlight trainees at UCSF and of scientific enquiry.
 

Prizes

First Prize for best slam talk: $300

Judges
A panel of screening judges will review the initial entries, which will be submitted on video. The judges will choose the finalists to compete in the live event. An additional panel of judges will choose the 1st prize winners at the live event. Presentations will be judged based on scientific impact and the quality and clarity of your presentation.

 

Who can Enter?

As of February 28, 2023, you must be a current graduate student in a PhD program, Postdoctoral scholar/fellow, or Resident at UCSF. UCSF alumni are not eligible. Your presentation must be based on your own, original research. Trainees who entered the contest, or who were finalists in previous years ARE eligible to enter again. However, the winner and runner-up of previous contests are not eligible to enter again.

 

Rules for Live Presentations

  • Your presentation must be based on your own, original research.
