We would like to invite you to submit abstracts for the 13th SMDM European Meeting 2010 at UMIT, Hall/Innsbruck, Austria
Abstracts will be reviewed for acceptance on their scientific merit and should be clearly written.
There are 4 abstract categories:
A. Oral Presentations (10 min + 5 min discussion)
B. Poster Presentations
C. Panel Discussions (30 min presentations + 30 min discussion)
D. Workshops (45 min presentations + 15 min discussion)
Research abstracts should report original work that has not been published prior to the European SMDM Meeting. Abstracts may reflect work previously presented elsewhere, but should not have previously been presented at a European SMDM Meeting.
Panel Discussions should focus on a “hot” or controversial topic in medical decision making. A Panel consists of a moderator and 2 or more panelists. The panelists should provide different aspects, perspectives or opinions on the topic discussed and should be from different institutions or work settings (decision maker, academia, industry, provider etc.).
Workshops are intended to share new and innovative methods and experiences in the field of medical decision making. The workshops should be interactive.
Kindly specify your preferred category. The authors will be informed in due time whether their abstract has been accepted and which category it was assigned to. We ask you to understand that the number of slots for oral presentations is limited. Therefore, some presenters may be asked to adapt their oral presentations to posters. Inclusion of abstracts in the scientific program is dependent on payment of registration fees. All accepted abstracts will be published in a volume of the Journal Medical Decision Making.
