Trainee Competition Finalists 2016
TRAINEE COMPETITION FINALISTS
The top 22 of the highest-scoring student/trainee abstract submissions will be featured as the finalists in the Trainee Competition and displayed for the duration of the conference. The Trainee Competition finalists will receive their final judging onsite at the conference during the Poster Session on Monday afternoon. Scores will be tabulated to determine the winners of the competition. In the event of a tie, judges will refer to the original scores for the tiebreaker. All judges decisions are final. All poster finalists will receive a certificate and recognition onstage as part of the Student Competition Awards Ceremony.
The Student Competition Finalists for Neurotrauma 2016 are:
