Abstract Guidelines: 

General Information – Poster Presentations

We invite practitioners, academicians, and researchers passionate about hospice, palliative care, multi-disciplinary teams, and end-of-life care to submit an abstract for poster presentation to the IAAHPC by the date listed above.

  • Poster abstracts should contain original research or case reports/series with novel information that has not been previously published. They can include pearls of practice, novel approaches, highlight innovative work or techniques, or consist of other significant contributions or findings to practicing euthanasia, hospice, or palliative medicine that would be useful and interesting to conference attendees. There is a $75 honorarium per poster presented at the conference. 
  • If a poster has been presented elsewhere, but not published, you may provide a “reprinted with permission” statement. 
  • The abstract does not have to correlate with the theme of the conference.

By submitting an abstract, the main author agrees, should the poster presentation be accepted, that at least one of the authors must register and attend the conference to present the poster.

Abstract Submission Instructions:

All abstracts must be submitted by emailing to stephanie@iaahpc.org prior to the August 15th deadline. Once selected, we will need a complete W9 to send your honorarium.

Conflict of Interest: 

A disclosure of conflict of interest* must be included on the poster if one exists. It should be placed either on the top or the bottom of the poster and state: “In relation to this presentation, I declare the following, real or perceived conflicts of interest: (description of the conflict of interest).” 

*A conflict of interest is any situation in which a presenter or immediate family members have interests, which may cause a conflict with the current presentation. Conflicts of interest do not preclude the delivery of the presentation but should be explicitly declared. These may include financial interests (e.g. owning stocks of a related company, having received honoraria, consultancy fees), research interests (research support by grants or otherwise), organizational interests and gifts.”

Recognition: 

Participants will review all posters in the session and will vote to award ribbons and prizes to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place posters.
