The Friday session was punctuated by the Trainee Award Presentations. Congratulations to all of the resident and fellow presenters who shared many great cases. The cases were stimulating as they were thought-provoking and helped educate all that were in the audience. The trainee award session started with Drs. Laurence A. Jannuzzi and Andre J.
