Submission Instructions
The “Primary Submitter” is responsible for managing the abstract, which includes adding the presenter and co-authors to the abstract. Co-authors are required to have an aofas.org account before being added to the abstract. Co-authors are NOT required to complete a disclosure to submit an abstract. If an abstract is selected, co-authors will then get an email to complete their disclosures, which is required prior to presentation of the abstract.
Requirements
All presenters must register and attend the meeting in person. Podium and poster presentations cannot be presented virtually.
Presenters must be eligible to participate in Continuing Medical Education, as defined by the ACCME. Employees and Owners of ineligible companies are not eligible to participate in CME programming.
All paper authors are required to complete a disclosure of conflict of interest via Convey Global Disclosure prior to presentation. AOFAS will send instructions to all authors if a paper has been accepted. Individuals without current disclosures on file may be removed from the meeting program.
