title: The American Society for Clinical Investigation--the first 100 years.
abstract: The annual Atlantic City meeting of the Young Turks was an exciting event--an opportunity to hear great science, to explore career opportunities, and to meet and make friends. Though the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, the meetings remained relatively intimate, broadly covering the best in medicine and constantly growing until the participants outgrew the Atlantic City venue to eventually spawn the numerous specialty annual meetings that we have today.
