Welcome to the AAOMP Abstract Submission System

We appreciate you taking the time to complete all of the pertinent information necessary for your abstract to be accepted for the upcoming AAOMP Annual Meeting in Tucson, AZ, May 15-19, 2010.

This site has been created to make your submission process easy and user-friendly. Also, once your abstract is accepted, the site will allow you to update and change your information in your presentations until a specific deadline.

You will be assigned a username and password in order to submit your abstract. Keep this information in a safe place so if you are entering multiple abstracts you will not need to enter your basic information more than once. It will also allow you re-access to your submission(s) in order to update or tweak the abstract until the March 1, 2010 deadline for abstract submission.

Your abstracts will also be assigned a unique number that you will need in order to upload your Powerpoint presentation later in the process.

Information you need to know regarding abstract submissions

All accepted abstracts will be published on the AAOMP web site. A limited number of papers will be accepted for oral platform presentation and the remainder of those accepted will be presented using a poster format. The Program Committee will determine the presentation format for each paper and notify the authors accordingly. To help with the process, you will need to indicate your preference by checking the appropriate category: Oral or Poster Presentation. Because of time constraints, it may not be possible to accommodate all requests for oral presentation. If your abstract is accepted for an Oral Presentation, it MUST be presented in a digital (PowerPoint) format.

The participant, when notified of acceptance of the abstract for oral presentation at the annual meeting, agrees to submit their final PowerPoint presentation no later than the established deadline of 28 calendar days prior to the Saturday start of the annual meeting. The deadline, therefore, will be NO LATER THAN APRIL 16, 2010. The presenter, by submission of the abstract, accepts the deadline and acknowledges responsibility for correctness and completeness of the PowerPoint presentation at time of submission. Failure to meet the deadline and formatting requirements may result in removal of the abstract and oral presentation from the program.

Abstracts will appear in the final program exactly as submitted. Please follow the directions carefully. Selected abstracts from the scientific sessions will be published in OOOOE. Therefore, the abstract must include objective(s), findings, and conclusions. In addition, the material presented must not have been published previously.
