Student Abstracts

Student oral and poster presentation call for abstracts

This is an opportunity for students to showcase evaluations, research, projects, and experiences through a poster or oral presentation at the public health combined conference at the Doubletree Hotel in Worthington. Student poster and oral presentations will be presented on Tuesday afternoon, May 15, 2012. Posters will be presented on Tuesday afternoon, May 15, 2012 at 11:15 a.m.-12:30 p.m., during an academic section reception. The student posters will be combined with the faculty poster session. Student oral presentations will be presented on 12:45-2:00 p.m.

Students interested in submitting abstracts for consideration should summarize their presentation. Abstracts should be typed, single spaced, no more than 500 words and should be accompanied by a brief biographical sketch of the presenter(s). The abstract and information listed below should be sent electronically by March 14, 2012. In addition, the speaker information package should be completed and sent with your abstract. The speaker information package may be faxed (because of the signatures) to 330-325-5907 or emailed if electronically scanned signatures are used. Although it has not been determined whether your abstract has been selected, we need this information to process continuing education credits more quickly-we appreciate your timely completion of these forms with your abstract submission.

Oral presentations will consist of 10-minute time slots--7 minutes for the presentation and 3 minutes for questions. However, depending on the number of accepted abstracts, these times may change slightly--you will be notified on the exact time limits if your abstract is accepted for oral presentation. Poster presenters will be given a six-foot skirted table to set up posters--you need to bring your own display boards (office supply stores carry the tri-fold boards that stand up on their own).

Students: please supply the following information on a word processed attachment and send your submission electronically to Amy Lee, MD, MPH (OPHA Academic Section Chair) by March 14, 2012 at afl@neomed.edu . If you have questions, Amy Lee can be reached at 330-325-6164 or afl@neomed.edu. To be eligible for presentation in this venue, you must have graduated May 2011 or later.
