Mayo Clinic Radiation Oncology: Current Practice and Future Direction 2023

Abstract Submission for Poster Presentations

Overview:
Participants of the Mayo Clinic Radiation Oncology: Current Practice and Future Direction course are invited to submit abstracts for poster presentations. Goals of the poster presentations are to educate and inform about research innovations, share ideas and interest, and network with other participants. Previously presented materials are accepted. Posters of accepted abstracts will be displayed for viewing throughout the course.

Abstract and Poster Format Guidelines:

• Abstract submissions are limited to 400 words, excluding title, author, and institution information and should be submitted as a one-page, single-spaced Word document.
• Abstracts should be organized into four sections: purpose/objectives, methods/ materials, results and conclusions.
• Inclusion of tables and images is acceptable, but must be within the one-page abstract document.
• The title should be at the top of the abstract in bold font followed by a complete list of authors including relevant degrees, department, and medical institution. Please identify the presenting author(s) with an asterisk (*).
• For abstracts selected as poster presentations, the maximum poster size allowed is 24" x 31".   The poster should be printed on a foam core board.  Mayo will arrange to have an easel for poster display.

Submission Deadline and Instructions:
Abstract submissions are due by November 12, 2022, and can be submitted via email to radiologycme@mayo.edu.

Selection and Notification:
A review committee will evaluate poster abstracts based on the following criteria: scientific content, novelty, writing quality, and overall scientific merit. Notification of poster acceptance will be made via email by December 1, 2022. Additional information will also be sent at this time including when and where posters can be set up on-site.  We encourage all poster presenters to be available during the dedicated poster review times as indicated on the course program.

All presenters are required to register for the meeting. When your abstract has been accepted, you will be provided a coupon code to receive $295 off of your registration fee.  Mayo Clinic will not provide reimbursement for travel or lodging for presenters.
