2014 AAHPM & HPNA Interactive Educational Exchange

Submission Information

To submit an abstract, one should be a palliative care educator at the professional or trainee level (trainees are encouraged to submit with mentors). All disciplines are encouraged. The abstract criteria are listed below. Abstracts submitted to but not selected for prior Interactive Educational Exchange sessions may be resubmitted with updated data and content. If your abstract is accepted, at least one author should be prepared to attend the 2014 AAHPM & HPNA Annual Assembly in San Diego, CA. Three Submission Examples from previously accepted and presented innovations are available for your reference by going to http://www.aahpm.org/learn/cc/educationexchange.html.

All submissions should be completed by July 22, 2013, 12pm PT.

Abstract Review and Selection

This 90-minute session allows for a total of 6 abstracts to be presented. The session is specifically designed to have an interdisciplinary focus; thus, the session faculty and members of the Abstract Review Committee represent different disciplines that make up hospice and palliative care teams. The Abstract Review Committee will evaluate the abstracts in an unblinded fashion. Session faculty will then choose the 6 abstracts/innovations that best meet the criteria below while also honoring the commitment to have the final selections represent authors from medicine and other disciplines. If an abstract is selected, authors will need to confirm that at least one author will attend the Interactive Educational Exchange session and present the innovation. This presenter will need to register to attend the AAHPM/HPNA Annual Assembly for at least the day of the presentation.
