Abstracts must be original, i.e. non-published work.
Abstracts should be written in proper English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these).
Use decimal points (not commas). Please carefully check your spelling, as submitted abstracts will not be reviewed
prior to publication.
An abstract must have a title that indicates the nature of the investigation. Capitalize each word in the title except
for terms that usually appear lowercase, such as prefixes to chemical names (Title Case).
Example: The Current Clinical Use of HPV Genotyping
Do not use abbreviations in the title of the abstract, with the exception of DNA, RNA, and HPV. Standard
abbreviations may be used without definition in the text. Nonstandard abbreviations (kept to a minimum) must be
placed in parentheses after the first use of the word or phrase being abbreviated.
Each abstract submission must clearly identify the following:
Objectives: an introductory sentence indicating the purpose of the study
Methods: a brief description of pertinent experimental procedures, including statistical evaluation where
appropriate

Conclusions: a statement of the conclusions
Learning Objective(s): objectives should include measurable verbs (i.e. identify, demonstrate). Note: the word
"understand" is not considered a measurable verb.
Example: Learners will be able to identify strategies of cancer centers to provide palliative care as a component
of quality cancer care.
