Abstract Guidelines
for Oral and Poster Presentations
All abstracts submitted should report original, previously unpublished work. Although abstracts may reflect work previously presented elsewhere, the work should not be published prior to the abstract submission date. There is no limit on the total number of abstracts submitted per individual presenter or research group. However, if one author submits more than one abstract using the same data set, the abstracts’ focus and outcomes of interests should be substantially different. By submitting their work, authors automatically approve publication of their accepted abstracts in the journal Diagnosis. If the work reported in the abstract is published between abstract submission and the conference presentation data, it is the author’s responsibility to ensure that presenting the abstract and publication of the abstract in Diagnosis complies with all copyright policies of the manuscript’s publisher.
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. Abstracts must be submitted by March 15, 2023, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

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 further descriptions below). Where possible, presentations with a similar theme or focus will be grouped together.

Poster Presentations
Posters may present scientific, education, or practice improvement work. We also accept clinical vignettes. A poster-viewing session will take place for conference participants to discuss the posters with the author.
*The committee will select abstracts for presentation in either format. Submitting authors must be willing to present their work in the format assigned.
