ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Abstract deadline extended to May 31, 2011

AACE/EACE/CPEN 2011 Annual Meeting is now accepting abstracts with a particular interest in work that emphasizes the impact the cancer education curriculum, program and/or initiative has made on its targeted learners in the following areas of the cancer continuum:

  • Prevention, including risk factor reduction and special populations
  • Early detection, including screening strategies
  • Treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, surgery, and integrative medicine
  • Survivorship
  • Palliative care, including pain and other symptom control, effective communication strategies

Additionally, focal areas for abstract submission within that continuum encompass:

  • Disparities in access to care and services
  • Patient/family education, including program development, management, literacy, competencies
  • Healthcare professional education, including medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, and trainees
  • Community outreach and education
  • Special populations, culturally and linguistically appropriate cancer education that also meets the needs of patients/families with low literacy.

Submit your abstract no later than May 31, 2011 to be considered for presentation at the annual meeting. Abstracts received after May 31, 2011 will only be considered for poster presentation.

Note that all abstracts are peer-reviewed and evaluated using the following criteria:

  • Relevance to the theme
  • Sound conceptual framework: Indicates the development, implementation or evaluation of educational program(s), a process improvement project or answers a scientific problem
  • Usefulness: Can the research, program or plan be applied elsewhere?
  • Clarity of content
  • Format
  • Innovation and/or originality of research
  • Conclusions

The abstract program works best with Windows Internet Explorer. If you are submitting an abstract using a MAC, Firefox is the recommended browser.

You may edit your abstract and/or view your status at any time via the above link. Please remember your login information and password.
