Abstract Format
Please indicate your preference for oral or poster presentation in the online submission. Due to the limited number of oral presentations available in the SHSA program, meritorious abstracts not assigned to oral presentation, will be accepted for posters. Abstracts submitted by commercial industry representatives may only be considered for poster presentation. Indicate in the online submission system if you do not wish to accept a poster presentation in this instance, in which case your abstract may be declined should it not be accepted for oral presentation.

Abstract Guidelines
Abstracts selected for presentations in the 5th Annual SHSA will be reproduced exactly as submitted and substitutions and changes will not be permitted after the closing date. Be sure to proofread your abstract very carefully before submitting.
- Prepare your abstract in MS Word
- Do not use presentation software, such as PowerPoint
- Limit your abstract (body) to no more than 300 words
- Refer to generic names, rather than brand names
- It is suggested, other than case presentations, to separate your abstract into three (3) paragraphs:
- Introduction
- Methods, Results
- Conclusions
- Include learning objectives and a takeaway message.
