Proposal Submission Form
Proposals must be submitted electronically by March 1, 2015.
To submit a proposal, complete the following form and send to
pracscholarproposal@gmail.com.
We invite proposals that:
➢ Reflect innovation and cutting edge content
➢ Stimulate and provoke discussion and audience engagement
➢ Deliver best practices using approaches for different types of learners
➢ Present evidence-based research
➢ Target students, early-career, mid-career, and seasoned professionals
You may submit one proposal. Please indicate whether you would like the proposal to be
considered for a one-hour breakout session:
Poster session: Poster sessions allow presenters and attendees to engage in extended
discussion regarding the author’s presentation that is in illustrated format on a poster
board. All poster presentations will need to be mounted on a tri-fold foam board.
Presenters are asked to be at their assigned poster board during the entire length of the
poster session. If your submission is accepted for presentation in a poster session, follow
instructions available at http://www.apa.org/convention/poster-instructions.pdf
Panel discussion: A focused session in which multiple participants present their views
on a common theme, issue or question. The views may or may not be adversarial and
may or may not be supported by brief mention of relevant data. The format usually
consists of an introduction to the topic by a facilitator to provide the audience with a
background for the ensuing discussion. Participants then present their viewpoints,
followed by interchange among participants and between the audience and participants.
Often the panel will end with an overview of the proceedings by the facilitator. Most
important, a panel is not a paper-reading session. Participants should prepare
presentations in advance so the facilitator can prepare a coherent summary. The
facilitator should not give a separate presentation. Their role is to integrate, interpret and
highlight the essential issues raised by participants.
Clinical demonstration: Demonstration of a particular therapeutic style or technique
providing an opportunity to observe its application through direct observation.
