The presenting author or colleague must plan to attend the Congress in full as oral and poster presentation assignments will not be rescheduled in order to accommodate personal travel plans. Please do not submit an abstract unless you are prepared to travel to the 22-24 September 2022 to present your research.

IMPORTANT: If you wish to withdraw your submitted abstract after the abstract submission period closes (11 April 2022), your request to withdraw must be received in writing no later than 22 August 2022.

The MEMC22 Abstract Committee will review all abstracts. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed in blinded fashion. Abstract scoring and acceptance will be based strictly on merit. Authors are required to select one category under which their abstract should be reviewed during the submission process.

The Committee will be directed to reject abstracts for the following causes:

  • Plagiarism detected
  • Marketing
  • Subject not related to the field of Emergency Medicine
  • Does not meet basic submission requirements

Authors will be notified if their abstract has been selected for oral or poster presentation in May 2022 (subject to change). Further details regarding placement as an oral or poster presentation, as well as date of presentation will follow as soon as possible. If you do not receive any notification of your abstract's status, please contact: memc@aaem.org. The final schedule for presentation will be provided by July 2022 (subject to change).
