The applications for the SOMS Competition for stipends that involve free participation at the National Congress for Students and Young Doctors 2010 were evaluated by Dr. Radu Mihai (Oxford University, UK) and Dr. Corin Badiu (Carol Davila University, Romania) in a blind manner – abstracts sent without authors and affiliations. They can be read here. Considering the similarity in the abstracts’ quality, the competition was close. The winning applications are:
