One of the most popular aspects of the SAWC/WHS is our poster and oral abstract sessions. These unique educational offerings offer several benefits to attendees and educators:
- During poster sessions, attendees are encouraged to browse through hundreds of case studies and reports of clinical research, laboratory research, and educational programs. Attendees also will have opportunities to speak with poster presenters, offering an extra level of education.
- Those planning to attend the 2008 SAWC/WHS are encourage to submit their own abstracts for consideration. All submissions are subject to an extensive review process. Accepted posters are announced in the beginning of the year.
- A select number of accepted abstracts are chosen for oral presentations held throughout the conference.
There is specific criteria for submitting an abstract presentation. For general guidelines, click here. For information on how to submit your abstract, click here.
Please note: Accepted poster presenters are not entitled to discounted registration or faculty benefits.
