To verify this, each submission must be signed by the appropriate designated official (e.g., program director, dean).

   • Name of presenting author
   • Title of abstract/poster

5. If you have questions regarding the abstract/Poster submissions for the 12^th Annual FLAAEM Scientific Assembly, please call or text Tony Zitek, MD at 813-728-4971 or email FLAAEM.Research@gmail.com .

Presenting Author Information: Include the presenting author’s name, address, telephone, and email address. Only the presenting author listed on the submission form will be notified of abstract acceptance.

Abstract Formatting

1. Use 12-point Times New Roman (or similar) type. Limit text to 2,500 characters, including spaces, and single space all text in the body of the abstract.
2. Do not indent the title. Capitalize only the first letter of each word in the title. List author names using initials only for first and middle names. Underline author names continuously. Include institution, city, and state where research was performed. Omit degrees, titles, institutional appointments, street addresses, and ZIP codes. Single space entire abstract. The left-hand margin of the abstract’s text should be perfectly aligned.
3. Use of abbreviations — The use of standard abbreviations is desirable. A special or unusual abbreviation should be placed in parentheses after the first appearance of the full word it represents. Numerals rather than words should indicate numbers, except to begin sentences.
4. Use of drug names — Each time a proprietary drug name is used in the abstract, the first letter is capitalized. Non-proprietary (generic) drug names are preferred and are not capitalized.
5. Structuring the abstract — Structured abstracts facilitate explicit presentation of critical information and objective assessment of scientific validity. Each abstract should include the following topic headings. It is not necessary to begin a new line or leave extra space between topic headings.
   • Objectives: A precise statement of the purpose of the study or the pre-study hypothesis. This may be preceded by a brief introduction summarizing past work or relevant controversies that place the study in perspective.
   • Methods: A brief statement of the methods used, including pertinent information about the study design, setting, participants, subjects, interventions, and observations.Results: A summary of the results presented in sufficient detail to support the conclusions.
   • Conclusions: Conclusions should be succinctly stated and firmly supported by the data presented. Note important limitations.

1. Chief complaint
2. History of present illness

5. One or two questions asking the viewer to identify the diagnosis or pertinent finding.
