APSA's Annual Meeting is also a great opportunities to see presentations from Nobel Laureates; Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology, and Dr. Stanley Prusiner, winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology, will both be speaking. Our Residency Luncheon is a valuable chance for you to meet with Residency Directors from programs around the country.
