NEJM Horizons Conference Application Information

Welcome! The New England Journal of Medicine is seeking to bring together a group of visionary medical students and trainees to help NEJM push the boundaries of traditional medical publishing. We are looking for creative minds to join the editors for a weekend to explore what's possible. We anticipate a vigorous dialogue around the ideas that invited participants and other speakers share with the group.

If you are selected to join the conference:

* We will cover the cost of round-trip coach/economy airfare to Boston from within North America or from western Europe.

* We will cover the costs of room and board at the conference facility for your two-day stay, and transfers to and from Boston's Logan International airport.

* You will receive a complimentary subscription to NEJM.org.

* You will have a chance to shape the future of NEJM, and meet members of the editorial staff.

Please ensure that you will be available to be in Boston from 6:00 p.m. Friday, October 24 to 1:00 p.m. Sunday, October 26, 2008. After spending a few weeks beforehand viewing our Web site and features, you should be prepared to present at least one idea for how NEJM should meet the needs of the next generation of physicians and physicians-in-training.

We are looking to bring together a group of diverse creative minds. The number of participants is limited to 20. If there are similarly qualified applicants, we may choose among them randomly. You may forward the link to this application to other medical students and residents who may be interested.

The deadline for receipt of applications is Wednesday, August 13 at 5:00 p.m. EST.

Selected participants will be notified by e-mail by Friday, August 22.
