Abstract Guidelines
for Oral and Poster Presentations
All abstracts should report original, previously unpublished work. Although abstracts may reflect work previously presented elsewhere, the work should not be published prior to the conference dates. Work currently under peer review with an anticipated publication date after October 20, 2022, may be submitted. There is no limit on the total number of abstracts submitted by each presenter. However, if one author submits more than one abstract about the same data set, the abstracts should be substantially different. By submitting their work, authors automatically approve publication of their accepted abstracts in the journal Diagnosis
For your presentation to be considered, abstract guidelines must be followed as closely as possible.
Please ensure that the presenting author completes the abstract submission.

Abstract Formats
Oral Presentations
Oral presentations will consist of approximately 10 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A. Oral presentations may include work with scientific, education, or practice improvement themes (see explanations below). Where possible, presentations with a similar theme or focus will be grouped together.
OR
Poster Presentations
New in 2022, submissions from patients/families regarding their experience with the diagnostic process will be accepted. All other posters may present scientific, education, or practice improvement work. We also accept clinical vignettes. A poster-viewing session will take place for delegates to discuss the posters with their authors.
*In balancing the program, the committee may require authors to present their work in an alternate format than specified in the submission
(e.g. as a poster rather than an oral presentation). All submitters will be notified of their acceptance status to SIDM2022 in July 2022.
