Guidelines and Instructions

Accepted abstracts will be published in the 2021 Annual Meeting Mobile Meeting Guide. Authors will be notified of acceptance by June 28, 2021. Further instructions on poster and oral presentations will be given at that time. The Residents and Fellows Committee will select the top abstracts for acceptance and for presentation during the meeting.

After acceptance, presenting authors will be required to complete a disclosure statement. The disclosure statement will be included with your acceptance letter.
