Poster Presentation Guidelines
 

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION PROCESS:

After the abstract submission deadline of 18 January 2006, members of the SMRT Education Committee will have completed the scoring of all abstract submissions. The Committee will select, based on scores, which abstracts will be selected for oral proffered papers or poster presentation. Abstract submissions selected for poster presentation must then submit their poster electronically for poster scoring. Instructions for the electronic submission of posters is available here.  The instructions must be followed explicitly for the successful handling of pdf files. We sincerely hope the electronic submission of posters will streamline the submission process for everyone involved; from the author, to the central office, and finally to the judges. This year, the program committee has allotted only eight slots for oral proffered papers for the annual meeting program. These abstract submissions will have been selected by the overall scores in the clinical and research categories. All other submissions will be invited to present their work as a poster. A small number of poster presenters will be selected to present orally at the Poster Exhibit and Walking Tour Reception Friday evening, 5 May 2006.
