Please note that the Medical Care Section requests an abstract of 400 words providing somewhat more detail about your research than the usual 250 word abstract. Contrary to prior years, the Medical Care Section is not requiring the additional one to two page extended abstract this year in order to reduce the burden on potential presenters.
Both platform (oral) and poster sessions will be sponsored. Please indicate your preference to present your paper as a platform or poster session in the appropriate place on the electronic abstract form.
MEDICAL CARE SECTION, STUDENT COMPETITION
As part of the call for abstracts described above, the Medical Care section is accepting abstract submissions for a student research platform session and competition. Authors of student papers that are accepted for presentation will receive recognition for their papers. One student paper will receive an award, which will be presented at the Annual Meeting.
Student submissions should also be abstracts of 400 words on a topic related to one of the substantive topics listed above. However, all student abstracts should be submitted to the "Student Submission" session, no matter which substantive topic is being addressed. Please note that in order to be eligible for the student competition, submissions MUST also include a letter from a professor that attests to the author's student status that should be sent separately directly to Dr. Gail Gordon (address below).
Please note that the deadline for submission of all abstracts to the Medical Care Section is Wednesday, February 6, 2002.
