This year the 45th Australasian Dermatopathology Society Annual Scientific Meeting will be held at the Intercontinental Hotel, Adelaide, Australia. The Organising Committee invite abstract submissions of original work under the Brenan Prize or Clinicopathological Gems categories.

1) BRENAN PRIZE

The only persons who are eligible to enter and win the Brenan Prize are trainees in Dermatology or Pathology who are accredited for their training as specialist dermatologists or pathologists in Australia or New Zealand.

There will be Brenan Prizes in two categories:

  • Category 1: AUD500 for the most outstanding skin case presentation emphasizing clinicopathological correlation.

  • Category 2: AUD500 for a research-oriented presentation, e.g. case series. The emphasis should be on the clinicopathological features of a skin-related condition.

2) CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL GEMS

All registrants are invited to participate in this popular segment, giving a short presentation on an illustrative case or cases they have encountered.

  • The presentation judged to be the most meritorious and/or best presented will receive a prize of AUD500.
