Submitting Abstracts
AOA Members and Emerging Leaders are invited to submit scientific abstracts. Poster presentations are available for discussion during viewing times, ensuring that both presenters and those who view the scientific posters have an enjoyable educational experience. Top rated abstracts will be selected for Special Emphasis Poster Presentations, which will include a short presentation by the author followed by a Q & A from participants.
Emerging Leaders Abstract - Submissions Welcome
Participants in the AOA's Emerging Leaders Program are invited to attend the AOA Annual Meeting and interact with AOA members in an environment of focused learning and networking. In addition, Emerging Leaders are encouraged to submit an abstract for poster display and/or special emphasis poster presentations.
Submitting Authors
Abstracts submitted for scientific posters and/or Special Emphasis presentations must list at least one AOA Member as a participating author in order to be eligible for review. If the abstracted is accepted as a poster or Special Emphasis presentation, an AOA Member must be listed in the Preliminary and Final Programs as the Presenting Author. (Additional co-authors may be non-members.) As the Presenting Author, he or she must attend the Annual Meeting, accept full responsibility for the delivery of the scientific poster and/or Special Emphasis presentation and ensure that all content is accurate.
