Please have your coauthors go to https://www.xcdsystem.com/datatrace/abstract/index.cfm?ID=0y6lYCf and complete the Mandatory Financial Disclosure Forms. All co-authors must complete a Financial Disclosure Form in order for you to present at the meeting. It is your responsibility to have your co-authors complete the form. Disclosure information must be updated yearly. Your presentation will be removed from the program if all of your co-authors do not complete the Disclosure Form by August 6th.

All abstract presenters are required to register for the meeting. If you are a Resident or Fellow, please register at the Resident/Fellow registration fee.

The ACCME requires the Mandatory Financial Disclosure Form be completed by all authors and coauthors in order for you to speak at the meeting. In addition, they require that the 1st or 2nd slide of your presentation include your disclosure statement.  This slide should outline the disclosure information included on the disclosure form.

Cash awards and ribbons will be given to the top three Presentations for both Resident/Fellows and Medical Students for $500, $250 and $100. The Program Committee will select the winners following the last session of abstract presentations on Saturday. Awards will be presented on Saturday afternoon during the Award Presentation section of the program and winners are requested to be present to receive the award.
