ABSTRACTS
Clinical and basic science research, clinical studies, innovative techniques or case presentations will be considered for the program. We will again dedicate a portion of the program to interesting community-based papers. These submissions must describe an established technique that one has done a number of times and has been found helpful. If you are submitting a "How I Do It" abstract, please indicate that. The abstract deadline for the 2020 program is Wednesday, January 8, 2020.
Please note that presenting your work at the VSS meeting does not preclude presentation at other conferences.
POSTER PRESENTATIONS
Abstracts can be submitted as either oral or poster presentations. Please indicate the submission type in your email subject- oral, poster or both. A first and second place award will be given to the top two poster presentations ($100 and $50 respectively).
