Abstract-Based
Scientific & Poster Sessions, and Andrew Foster Young Investigator
Award, CT Resident & Fellow Investigator Award
Abstract Submission Deadline June 15, 2016
In
addition to the Andrew Foster Young Investigator Award, FACTS-Care is
instituting a new Abstract-Based Cardiac-Thoracic Resident & Fellow Research Award
for the CVT Critical Care 2015 Conference. We hope these two awards
will encourage Young Investigators and CT Residents & Fellows to
pursue research projects. For the winner of each award:
- A $1,000 award for the best selected abstract for each award
- A 10 minute presentation at a plenary session based on the research during the CVT Critical Care 2015 conference
- Winning abstracts included in the course syllabus
- Option to additionally present at the Poster Session with Professor Rounds – Wine & Cheese Event
It
has been clear from the beginning of our “CVT Critical Care”
conferences, that many of our participants are dynamic leaders in their
hospitals, and are involved with developing and studying innovations in
CVT critical care. These new sessions provide an opportunity for
multi-disciplinary professionals to highlight their studies in the
following categories:
- Management of CVT Critical Care Issues
- Evaluation of New Technology and Pharmaceuticals
- Organization of the CVT Critical Care Multi-Disciplinary Team
The “Abstract Judging” subcommittee of our 2015 Program Committee will judge all Abstracts using a blinded format.
All
abstract presentations will be 10 minutes, with a 5-minute
Audience-Panel discussion to follow. Overall then, 6 presentations will
be selected, and the authors honored at the presentation sessions.
