Clinical Photo Assay

THE WHOLE POINT OF TAKING PICTURES IS SO THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO EXPLAIN
THINGS IN WORDS.

MEDSICON 2022, under the aegis of VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital, is pleased to invite all medical students to the Clinical Photo Assay competition.

Present rare and unique clinical conditions, innovative therapies, and novel ways of management or even cases that are emotionally gripping through photographs taken by you in the wards, OPD and OT’s of your own institution

Mechanics of the Competition

The Clinical Photo Assay will be conducted in two Rounds – Round I and Round II

Round I will be conducted in Virtual Mode. The participants would be required to submit their work (Clinical Photo + Abstract) by 21st of July. After assessing all the abstracts received from Participants from Round I, our panel consisting of eminent clinicians will select participants who will be allowed to present
their clinical picture in front of the jury in Round II.

Guidelines for Photograph and Abstract submission

  • All participants are required to submit a short abstract of their work to help our review panel consisting of esteemed clinicians shortlist the participants. The abstract should include multiple pictures of the same case and a short description of your case.
  • The ideal clinical photos provide visual information that will be useful to other clinicians.
  • Clinical pictures should be interesting, educational, and respectful to the patient.
  • Use no more than 150 words, with no references. The text should include a brief patient history and must put the image in context, explaining what the image shows and why is it of interest to the general reader.
  • Format – .pdf extension files with 5 as the maximum number of photos besides the descriptive text.

Deadline for abstract submission is July 21, 2023 ; 1700 hours IST. Abstracts
should be submitted in pdf format to medsiconacademics@gmail.com

Rules for the final presentation

  • FORMAT – The participants will use .ppt/.pdf files to present their photos.
  • CONTENT – Besides the pictures, no other text except suitable titles and labels should be used in presentation as the whole idea is to orally present clinical cases using illustrations.
  • TIME LIMIT – 3 Minutes

Please note, it is an individual event and only the presenter will be accredited for his/her effort

Disclaimer

  • Plagiarism will be strongly frowned upon. Any case of plagiarism will invite immediate disqualification.
  • Decisions of the jury and the organizing Committee are final.
  • Organizing Committee reserves the right to amend the above guidelines
