Attendance Requirement

Presenters selected for oral presentations, Rapid-Fire presentations, or hard poster presentations must attend the meeting in person.

Rapid-Fire Session

The Rapid-Fire Scientific Session will take place on Friday, November 20, 2026, from 5:00–6:00 PM. This fast-paced session features brief, focused presentations from orthopaedic residents, fellows, and medical students, highlighting innovative research, clinical outcomes, and quality improvement initiatives, with moderated discussion focused on practical takeaways.

If the first author is unable to attend, a second author may present in their place. The presenting second author must also be a NYSSOS Candidate Member to be eligible.

Only the first author, as listed on the abstract, is eligible to receive an award, regardless of who presents the research.

Resident submissions will be combined during the judging process but evaluated separately.
