What You Can Do For UsTo ensure worry-free preparation of presentations, DMAA asks its faculty to:
- Submit slide presentation and handouts to DMAA by Friday, Nov. 7. The conference is a paperless meeting and presentations will be shared with attendees online prior to the conference. Do not make changes to your presentation after Friday, Nov. 7, as attendees look forward to receiving your final presentation. Failure to submit a presentation, if not justified, will jeopardize future acceptance of abstracts. For guidance on presentations, consult these downloadable PDF documents:
- Review your presentation description online by Friday, Oct. 10. DMAA reserves the right to edit all presentation titles and descriptions. Please check the conference Web site to review your session-this description will appear in the onsite print program. If you have questions or requests, contact Deante Tolliver, association and meeting coordinator, at dtolliver@dmaa.org or (202) 737-5476 no later than Friday, Oct. 10.
- Update your contact information. If you've recently changed jobs, locations or companies, please update DMAA. As a faculty member, you will receive a complimentary registration based on the contact information submitted with your abstract proposal.
- Make hotel reservations immediately. DMAA has secured a limited number of conference-rate rooms at the Westin Diplomat. To reserve a room, visit the Hotel page of this site and log-in with the username and password you received through the registration process. Only registered attendees and faculty members will be able to make reservations.
No Commercials, PleaseSubmissions must be free of commercial content or endorsement. Should a presentation be identified as being commercial, the presenter will not be invited back. The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) expects that the content or format of continuing medical education (CME) activities and related materials will promote improvements or quality in health care and not a specific proprietary business interest of a commercial interest.
Please adhere to these important points for your presentation:
- Speakers must give a balanced view of therapeutic options. Use of generic names will contribute to this impartiality. If content includes trade names, trade names from several companies should be used where available, not just trade names from a single company.
- All the recommendations involving clinical medicine are based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients.
- All scientific research referred to, reported or used in support or justification of a patient care recommendation conforms to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection and analysis.
