Abstracts

Guidelines

We invite you to submit abstracts for presentation at the Utah Global Surgery Symposium!

Abstracts may be based on basic, clinical, or translational research, innovation in low-resource settings, or educational programs and initiatives related to global surgery. Especially for innovation or education related projects, we will accept abstracts on projects in progress. We ask for the following formats for abstracts: ​

​

  • Science Forum: Intro/Methods/Results/Discussion 

  • Innovation & Education Forums: Purpose/Development/Results/Discussion

​

Additionally, all abstracts are required to follow these guidelines:

​

  • Word Limit: 350 (not including title) + 1 table (max 5 columns, 10 rows) or figure

  • Author Limits: none, we just need author affiliation and location

​​

Has the abstract you are submitting already been presented at any other national/international conference? Please note that we ARE accepting abstracts that have been presented elsewhere, but will prioritize podium presentations for abstracts that have not been presented. For inquiries related to abstract submission or decisions, please contact us at gssasymposium2021@gmail.com.
