CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:
14th Annual EM Research & Clinical Case Poster Competition
Submission Deadline: July 11, 2022
Symposium by the Sea will host the 14th annual Emergency Medicine Research and Clinical Case Poster Competition on August 4-7, 2022, at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point in Bonita Springs, FL.
The poster session will be open to medical students, emergency medicine residents, emergency medicine fellows, faculty and any practicing physician in Florida. In order for a poster to be judged in this competition, the individual who appears as the first author of each abstract or case must be a medical student, emergency medicine resident or emergency medicine fellow. In addition, although not mandatory, the individual should be available to present at Symposium. 
 
Topics can include the broad range of issues involving emergency medicine practice, education research, innovations in education and clinical as well as basic science research. Original hypothesis driven research, although not a prerequisite for submission, will be favored significantly in the judging. Abstracts presented at prior scientific assemblies (SAEM, ACEP, SBS) and other regional meetings will no longer be accepted given the high volume of submissions we have received in the last few years.
 
Research presentations will be judged by neutral emergency medicine faculty for “best overall” research poster presentation based upon concept, original hypothesis, study quality and overall impact. Case presentations will also be judged by neutral faculty for both interesting or unique content, as well as potential impacts on the practice of emergency medicine, for a “best overall” title.
