Case Abstract Submission for the 2017 Annual Meeting is now closed. If you missed your chance to submit a case for our 2017 AMSSM Annual Meeting we encourage you to consider submitting your abstract in the Fall of 2017 for the 2018 AMSSM 27th Annual Meeting. The deadline for Case Abstract submissions will be the second Tuesday in November. .
Presenting a Case
Podium Presentation
You should use the following format for your case presentation (NOTE = 11 minutes total):
- Case history, initial physical exam, panel questions (4 minutes).
- Labs, x-rays, course of treatment, return to play, panel comments (4 minutes).
- Comments from the audience (3 minutes).
Time your presentation carefully. If you should exceed the allotted time for any section, the chair will stop you mid-presentation.
Case presentations are a framework for discussion, and presenters are strongly discouraged from lecturing on their topic. Include one slide at most, designed to cover teaching points, only if the diagnosis is unusual. It is expected that should the presenter begin to lecture on the topic, the chair will intervene and continue the discussion in a more informal manner.
Be sure to bring your presentation on a USB Flash Drive or CD. You will not be able to use your own computer. Load your presentation at least 24 hours before your talk.
