I am a 3rd year student who would like to boost my CV by presenting some research that I did earlier in medical school. I'm obviously interested in ortho, and would like to know what opportunities there are to present at national meetings, etc. The project was a clinical research project that I did with Dr. Don Shelbourne, a specialist in ACL surgery in Indianapolis, and he's well known enough that I think I'd be able to present it somewhere. Any guidance and suggestions? Is it worthwhile to present somewhere, or is simply doing the research good enough?
Definitely present it if you can. It would add an extra line on your CV, and if nothing else, would give you something to discuss on interviews. Program directors want to take someone who will be standing on the podium someday, and if you already have, it would be a plus. Obviously an ORS or AAOS presentation would be ideal, but anywhere you could present it would be a help.

If it's good ACL research, then I would try the AOSSM annual meeting. It is usually in a nice place during the summer. Other options are AANA or AAOS. Usually the staff where you did the research will pick out a place to present it or for a poster. Some of it also has to do with the publishing issue. If you present at AOSSM, then the AJSM will get first crack at publishing it. Have a chat with your staff.
