Students submit a paper for approval and if accepted can compete in a Symposium
which takes place over two afternoons. (Winners each receive $500 and a certificate of recognition)
AMMI Canada-CACMID Annual Conference: CCM Student Poster Award and CCM Environmental Microbiology Award. >>To Archive
The award
is based on the merit of the research presented in the poster, as well
as the student's ability to answer questions on his/her research project.
It is expected that the project contributes significantly to the professional
development of the student in microbiology. Abstracts are submitted
as part of the AMMI Canada-CACMID Annual Conference abstract submission process, but are identified as
student posters for the competition.
Each
award is valued at $800 and includes an engraved plaque and
one year free CCM membership.

residents and fellows is eligible for a Student or Trainee Award. Students
must be in training or have completed their training less than six (6)

Work relevant to all aspects of medical microbiology and infectious
diseases will be considered. The work of an individual will be considered
