Two presentation formats are invited for submission:
1. Abstracts
a. Research abstracts: Completed studies/investigations with measurable results (data) that add to the existing knowledge related to physician well-being.
b. Innovation abstracts: Completed programs, projects or approaches, preferably with measurable results, that share a best practice or practical application of a physician well-being strategy.
Abstracts should clearly outline the background, objectives, methods, results and significance.
Abstract submissions will be evaluated with consideration given to the following criteria:
· Scientific merit
· Quality
· Original contribution to knowledge
· Relevance to audience and conference theme
NOTE: Abstracts selected may be presented as an oral presentation (Up to 20 minutes with an additional 5 minutes for Q&A) or in poster format based on the ratings of the abstract review committee. You may indicate your preference during the submission process.
2. Workshops
a. Skill building, interactive sessions aimed at improving knowledge among attendees working in physician well-being. An exclusive lecture/presentation-based format is not appropriate for workshop submissions.
Workshops will be 60 minutes with the last 10-15 minutes reserved for questions and discussion. Workshop submissions must include the session plan and timeline, along with a session description that includes the interactive, hands-on nature of the session and the presenter’s plan to involve the audience throughout the session.
Both research and non-research workshop submissions are encouraged, and all submissions will be evaluated with consideration given to the following criteria:
· Workshop design (method of delivery including group work, design of the workshop and expected outcomes)
· Originality
· Relevance to audience and conference theme
· Previous evaluations of the same or similar workshops (if available)
· Presenter experience
All submissions must be 400 words or fewer and will undergo a blinded peer review. Abstracts not submitted on the ACPH 2025 abstract template (word document) will not be considered.
Please list all authors/co-authors with the abstract or workshop submission. All correspondence will be directed to the corresponding/submitting author only.
Online submission information can be found on the conference website. Submissions for all abstracts must be made electronically via the online abstract submission portal.
Submissions must be received by Feb. 21, 2025 (11:59 p.m. Central Time). Corresponding authors will be notified by early May 2025 as to whether their abstract was accepted. PowerPoint is encouraged for abstract and workshop presentations and standard equipment (e.g., LCD projector, screen, audio-video connections) will be available at the conference. Provisions for any non-standard presentation equipment will be provided by the presenter at their expense.
PLEASE NOTE: All selected presenters are expected to register for the conference themselves and pay the AMA Member rate and will be responsible for all their own conference-related expenses.
For all accepted abstracts, only one registration slot (for the corresponding author/submitter) will be held per abstract, regardless of the number of authors.
Additional authors are advised to register early to secure their registration.
