Presentation Types
Proposals for the following session types are being accepted:

Panel Symposium – 90 minutes
A presentation on a single topic presented by a moderator for discussion by a panel of 3-5 participants who submitted abstracts on the topic addressed. Panel members will share their knowledge through discussion on the validity, value, and applicability of the topic as well as their own unique work in the topic area.

Learning Institutes (formerly known as Workshops) – 90 minutes
A presentation designed to actively involve attendees in structured activities, small or large group processes, simulation, and/or other training components. Presentation must have in evidence a meaningful rationale and/or theoretical base underlying the activities. For advanced skills training requiring more presentation time, two 90 min sessions may be requested, however given logistics, planning and space, this will be a very limited option.

Scholarly Paper – 60 minutes
A theory-based presentation focused on exploring and analyzing new and current issues, trends, perspectives, and/or models in the field of oncology social work.

Poster
A poster presentation is an opportunity to discuss your topic with peers in an informal setting. Posters typically focus on one main theme, and present useful information, research results and stimulate discussion. A poster presentation allows viewers to study and restudy information and discuss it with the presenter one on one. Presenter must present in-person, follow poster size guidelines.

Deadline
The deadline for submitting abstract proposals is 11:59 p.m. CDT, Friday, September 11, 2015.
