Abstract Guidelines
PAMA’s annual Symposium on Medical Problems of Performing Artists provides time for attendees to present their research and successes. A committee reviews abstracts for purposeful research, outcomes of value to the audience, and innovative approaches to caring for performing artists. Abstracts may be education based with goals and objectives illustrated and outcomes evaluated.
Accepted abstracts will be assigned to one of the following:
- 12-minute live presentation plus 3 minutes for Q&A
- Poster presentation for one day
- Workshop
- Panel
Authors are asked to narrow their focus to present the key points and not the full range of one’s work. The author should keep in mind the learning objective of his paper. It is possible to request a longer time if sufficient reason can be provided.
SUBMISSIONS
- Submissions will be made by November 30 by e-mail. Complete the application below.
- Guidelines and policies to follow, including:
- The purpose of a paper is to educate attendees; no commercial interests are permitted.
- One paper is to be presented per author -- a co-author may submit an additional abstract and follow the guidelines presented here.
