Abstract Submission
Types of Abstracts
These are detailed summaries of original research studies, including the study’s objective, methodology, results, and conclusions. IRB approval must be mentioned.
These abstracts describe unique or rare clinical cases, detailing the patient’s medical history, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. They are valuable for sharing insights on unusual medical conditions or treatment approaches.
These provide a summary of existing literature on a specific topic. They aim to synthesize current knowledge and may highlight gaps in the research that need addressing.
These focus on new or improved research methods, techniques, or tools. They describe the method’s development, validation, and potential applications.
These abstracts describe innovative programs or service delivery models in clinical, educational, or community settings. They include information on the program’s design, implementation, and evaluation.
These present new theories or conceptual models. They typically outline the theoretical framework, its development, and its implications for research or practice.
