Help Shape the 2027 Annual Assembly: Become an Abstract Reviewer

The Annual Assembly of Hospice and Palliative Care is seeking volunteer abstract reviewers to help identify high-quality, evidence-informed educational content for the 2027 conference. By serving as a reviewer, you can contribute your expertise, support peers across the interdisciplinary hospice and palliative care community, and help advance the field.

“Reviewers bring diverse perspectives and expertise that help ensure our program reflects the evolving needs of the hospice and palliative care workforce. Their commitment is vital to a high-quality abstract review process and a vibrant, high-yield Assembly.”

Christina Ullrich, MD MPH FAAHPM

Co-Chair of the Annual Assembly Planning Committee

Apply to become a reviewer by Tuesday, September 22 to evaluate submissions for Late-Breaking Research, Early Career & Professionals in Training, and RAPiD Posters through a confidential double-blind review process.

“Serving as an abstract reviewer is a rewarding way to stay abreast of the real-world challenges, innovations, and opportunities shaping hospice and palliative care. It offers a unique opportunity to learn from the work of clinicians and researchers across the field while contributing to the dissemination of knowledge and the development of skills that advance quality and excellence in care.”
