SELECTION PROCESS
Abstracts will be reviewed by the Research Conference Committee according to 1) clarity; 2) scientific merit; 3) novelty of content; and 4) implications of research or QA/QI.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints, not all submissions requesting an oral presentation can be accommodated and final decisions will rest with the Research Conference Committee. Researchers may be invited to present a poster presentation rather than an oral presentation.
PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
ORAL PRESENTATIONS
- Presentations will be in-person and we ask that they be submitted to research@rvh.on.ca prior to the conference.
