Instructional Information
Please read the Call for Abstracts before you submit an abstract. Click here to access the Call for Abstracts.

General Information

  • You can start a submission file, save it and return to it if you need additional time to complete your file. Just remember to save frequently.
  • When you start a file, you will be asked to register as a submitter. Your email address and a password you designate will allow you to return to your file and make changes prior to submitting your abstract. Please make a note of your password. If you forget your password, you can retrieve it by clicking the appropriate link on the login page.
  • You have flexibility to move back and forth from page to page in the program.
  • The program is set to "time out" due to inactivity at 60 minutes. "Inactivity" means no mouse or keyboard movement. To keep the program active, remember to move your mouse even if you are not entering data at the keyboard.
  • In the next section, we are providing a preview of the information you will need to complete your file. It will help you if you have the information available before you start an abstract submission file. However, if you start a file but cannot finish it within 60 minutes, save your work and you can return to it at a later time.
  • When prompted in this program, you will attach your abstract by opening the document file on your own computer. Be sure you know where you saved your abstract.
  • Once you are completely finished with your abstract submission, you will be asked to press the "Submit" button. You will then be unable to make any further revisions to your file.

  3. CE Application Information: This year you will be asked to provide information for the CE application form when you submit an abstract. Please provide one objective for each paper, specify the related content and other information on the form. A sample of a segment is located below.)

    Guidelines:

    • An objective must be learner directed, measurable, limited to one outcome, and accomplished by the end of the education.
    • The content must flow from the objectives and not be merely a restatement of the objective. It must also be in outline form.
    • Each objective must have it's own time frame and the minutes listed need to agree with the time you are using to determine the contact hours

    F. Objectives G. Content Outline H. Time Frame I. Presenter J. Teaching Methods
    List learner's objectives in behavioral terms. Provide an outline of the content for each objective. It must be more than a restatement of the objective and related to the objective. State the time frame for each objective. Show time for evaluation. List the faculty for each objective. Describe the teaching methods, strategies, materials, and resources for each objective.
    List two recent outcomes in clinical education research. 1. Review current literature.
    2. Explain research-based clinical judgment model.    		 10 minutes Jane Doe PowerPoint

Helpful Hints:

  • The title of your paper must not be more than 75 characters in length, including spaces. The program will not accept more than 75 characters. Be sure the title you enter in the program and the title on your paper are identical.
  • You have a full page in which to list the title, author(s) information, and abstract. Feel free to use the entire page to give the reviewers sufficient information on which to judge scientific/project merit.
  • It is strongly recommended that you use the headings found in the Call for Abstracts, "Selection Criteria" section.
  • The site works best using Internet Explorer or Netscape, versions 6.0 or higher. If you do not have either of these Internet browsers, download the latest version of either browser by clicking on one of the links below:
