It will also feature an emerging clinician researcher who was involved in research during residency training to discuss how it is possible to juggle research and clinical training, the hurdles and joys. There will opportunity for discussion after each talk.

The second part will be oral abstract presentations by resident researchers who will share their scientific abstracts followed by a question-and-answer session to discuss the abstract. A total of 5 abstract presentations will be shortlisted from the congress submission that are not shortlisted for Congress Oral paper / selected for Young Scientist.
