The deadline to submit has passed.

If you have submitted an Instructional Course abstract, you will be notified in January 2010 of your status.

Abstracts for Instructional Course Lectures must be based on a 60-minute didactic session on a topic of your choice and 15-30 minutes of floor discussion between the speakers and audience. The session should be no more than 90 minutes. Take your audience through a case from the beginning stages all the way through specific treatments and outcomes. Case studies provide an excellent forum for developing problem-solving skills and offer a glimpse of how teamwork produces successful patient outcomes.
