The winners of this year's competition was Dr. Mia Klein, MD, (University of North Carolina) who presented her basic science paper on  AN INJECTABLE TISSUE-FACTOR TARGETED NANOFIBER TO SLOW NON-COMPRESSIBLE TORSO HEMORRHAGE and Dr. Michelle B Mulder, MD (University of, Miami Fl) who presented her clinical paper on DOES FIBRINOLYSIS SHUTDOWN INCREASE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY IN ADULTS WITH POLYTRAUMA AND BRAIN INJURY? Both resident winners will represent the VA at the ACS COT Military Region 13 Excelsior Society Meeting to be held October 2019 at the ACS Annual Clinical Congress. The winners of that competition will receive transportation to the Annual ACS COT meeting held in March 2020. We encourage AVAS members to remind their staff and affiliates of this opportunity.
