FCACC FIT Scientific Abstract and Case Study Abstract Competition

Submission Guidelines

• Scientific Abstract and Case study Abstract submissions may represent work in progress or may have been previously submitted for publication or presentation at a national meeting in 2024. 
• Submissions in this competition are not precluded from submission for future publication or presentation. The competition is part of a regional meeting and, clearly, will not preclude the fellow from submitting the abstract in a future endeavor.

• Submissions must be made electronically via Oxford Abstracts by December 9. Paper and emailed copies will not be accepted.
