Frequently Asked Questions
What submissions are included in the Summer Call for Abstracts?
The summer call for abstract submissions includes 30-minute and 15-minute live concurrent sessions and scientific and quality improvement (QI) papers and posters.
Why isn’t there a 60-minute presentation option in the Summer Call for Abstracts?
The omni-channel format of the annual assembly gives learners the opportunity to participate in the way that is best for them - to encourage participation virtually or in-person, shorter bite-sized sessions are more easily consumed thus the elimination of 60-minute sessions.
What submissions are included in the Fall Call for Abstracts?
The fall call for abstract submissions is open specifically to professionals in training or early career hospice and palliative care professionals submitting case study papers and posters and scholar e-posters.
Can I submit to the Fall Call for Abstracts if I submit to the Summer Call?
