Symposium for Research in Surgical Palliative Care

Submit Abstracts by February 20

Abstracts can now be submitted for presentation consideration at the 10th annual Symposium for Research in Surgical Palliative Care, being held virtually on Thursday, April 23, from 7:00–8:30 pm CT. The format will offer “quick shot” style presentations with respondents and a lively exchange of ideas among attendees.

Submissions related to palliative care in quality improvement, innovations in care processes, education, outcomes research, qualitative studies, and ongoing works-in-progress are welcome. Each presentation will be limited to 5 minutes to allow for a variety of topics and thoughtful discussion.

Submission Guidelines

Abstracts should be submitted as a single-page PDF document, including the title of the presentation, name(s) of the presenter and co-authors, along with a brief synopsis consisting of background, methods, results (preliminary or expected results for works in process are acceptable), and conclusions.

Abstracts may not exceed 300 words total, including all sections.

The deadline to submit abstracts is Friday, February 20, at 5:00 pm CT. Authors selected by the review committee to present will be notified in early April.
