Deadline: 15 December 2010
The Bander Essay Contest is supported by the Saint Louis University Bander Center for Medical Business Ethics. The contest is meant to encourage scholarly inquiry into business ethics within the practice of medicine or the conduct of medical research.
Medical students, resident physicians, fellows, and physicians in practice are eligible to submit essays for consideration. Essays must be 2,000 words or fewer, typed, and double-spaced. The author’s name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and affiliation (medical school and class, private practice site, hospital affiliation, etc.) should appear on the cover sheet only—not on the essay pages. Entries must be received as e-mail attachments by midnight CDT, December 15, 2010. Submit essays to Faith.Lagay@ama-assn.org.
A peer-review committee established by the Virtual Mentor editorial staff will select contest winners. Essays will be judged on understanding of the topic, applicability of the proposed policy to medical practice and patient care, clarity of writing and argumentation, and integration of relevant scholarly literature and data if appropriate.
The author of the best essay will be awarded $5,000. If more than one exceptional entry is received, up to three runner-up prizes of $1,000 each will be awarded. Winning essays will be published in Virtual Mentor.
