Call for Abstracts
Absolute deadline for abstract submission:
April 2, 2012 (Midnight Eastern)
The New York American College of Emergency Physicians is now accepting abstracts for review for oral and poster presentation at the 2012 Scientific Assembly, July 9-11, at the Sagamore Resort on Lake George in Bolton Landing, New York.
The Research Forum, including both oral and poster presentations, will be held Monday, July 9 from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. This forum is designed to feature and foster resident and faculty research. Topics may address the broad range of emergency medicine practice and educational development. Preference will be given to work completed at the time of submission. Authors and institutions should not be identified in any way on the page containing the abstract.
Abstract submissions must be in electronic format (Microsoft Word) and must include the following subsections, Title, Objectives, Methods (include design, setting, type of participants), Results and Conclusion. The abstract should be written in complete sentences using grammatically correct English. Spell out all abbreviations on first usage. Abstracts are limited to 3000 characters. Accepted abstracts will be published as received; no copy editing will be performed.
Illustrations are discouraged; however, if critical, one (1) small table may be included. Figures, tables and photos must be black and white with a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Note: tables, figures and illustrations will be considerably reduced when published causing loss of detail. Please consider this when determining whether to include these.
A cover sheet should be submitted with each abstract stating the
1. title of the abstract;
2. author(s) and affiliations;
3. IRB approval or exemption;
4. contact person's mailing address, phone/fax numbers and e-mail address;
5. information regarding previous presentations or publication;
6. potential conflicts by author;
7. if accepted, indicate who will present the abstract July 9, 2012 and their role in the project; and
8. state preference for oral or poster presentation (or no preference).
Although we are interested in original work, consideration will be given to abstracts presented at other scientific assemblies (SAEM, ACEP).
Oral presentations will be allocated 10 minutes followed by 5 minutes of Q&A. Poster presentations will be allocated 5 minutes followed by 3 minutes of Q&A. All presenters (oral or poster) are expected to have had a significant role in the execution and report preparation of the project being presented.
