The Southern Society for Clinical Investigation (SSCI) has a long and proud tradition
dating back to its inception in 1946 by founder and soon-thereafter-to-be-elected
its first president Tinsley R. Harrison. The Society has continued to flourish under
its sustained and able leadership, most recently provided by Jesse Roman and Charles
(Bo) Sanders. Its comprehensive and productive scientific session, held annually in
New orleans during February, is a testimony to its unwavering devotion to its tripartite
mission: a dedication to the advancement of knowledge, information and ideas; a commitment
to mentoring future generations of medical investigators while promoting careers in
academic medicine; and fulfillment of its vision. The latter is based on the advancement
of medical research by sponsoring an annual meeting, recognizing excellence in academic
medicine, developing programs specifically to support young medical investigators
and by publishing its official torchbearer The American Journal of the Medical Sciences,
which for almost 2 centuries has been contributing to the dissemination of new knowledge,
sharing truth as it is presently envisaged and inspiring the biomedical community.
