To be accepted, abstracts must be judged to be scientifically valid and yielding important information which is likely to ultimately affect patient care. Abstracts submitted, or the resultant manuscripts, must not appear in published form prior to release of the meeting abstracts in the October 2024 issue of Annals of Emergency Medicine. Case reports or subject reviews are not considered original research.
The Research Committee and ad hoc reviewers will review abstracts blinded to authors. Notification will be sent in July 2024. We regret that we cannot give notification information by telephone.
Accepted abstracts will fall into the following categories:
Brooks F. Bock
The Brooks F. Bock lecture provides a forum to recognize innovative emergency medicine researchers whose work has contributed to the advancement of the specialty. The session also includes award presentations for the Best Medical Student Abstract and the Best Resident Abstract.
State-of-the-Art
Emergency care research has an impact on every practicing emergency provider. In each of these featured sessions, we examine the ever-important “crossroads” between research and clinical practice.
Editor’s Pearls
In this session, editors from both Annals and JACEP Open will share tips and tricks on getting your manuscript published.
Plenaries
The highest ranked abstracts are selected as oral presentations in selected Plenary Sessions. Each presenter is allotted 8 minutes to present their work. These sessions are moderated, and time is reserved at the conclusion of each presentation for audience questions and discussion.
Oral Presentation Sessions
These sessions include between five and seven abstracts, organized by topic (ex. Toxicology, Infectious Diseases, etc.). Each presenter is allotted 6 minutes to present their work. These sessions are moderated, and time is reserved at the conclusion of each presentation for audience questions and discussion.
Poster Presentation Sessions
