Wills Eye Institute 62nd Annual Alumni Conference
Free Paper Session
Thursday, March 4, 2010

The free paper presentations will be held in the Sara and Noel Simmonds Auditorium of Wills Eye Institute, 840 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
The program is from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. 
Each presentation is limited to seven minutes
The opening reception will immediately follow the last paper.

The free paper session is an opportunity for Wills Eye residents, fellows, attending staff and alumni to present information about ongoing research and other topics of interest.

The papers are submitted anonymously to the selection committee for review. The best 30 papers are chosen for inclusion in the program. In order to allow the submitters more time to prepare their abstracts, the deadline for papers was extended this year and therefore the final selection is not available at the time of this printing. The list of title chosen by the committee will be posted on www.willsconference.org in mid-January, 2010.

The Shipman and McDonald Awards will be awarded for the best resident and fellow papers.

Ralph C. Eagle, M.D.; Tara Uhler, M.D.; Kristen M. Hammersmith, M.D.; Sunir J. Garg, M.D.
