Post Conference Workshop (Space is limited to 20 participants)

When Less is Actually More - Crucial Conversations and Critical Patient Care Techniques for Advanced Cancer Patients in the ED

Saturday, February 8, 2025
12:30 PM - 4:30 PM

This is a 4- hour workshop aimed at preparing Healthcare Professionals (HCP) to become effective communicators and providers of end-of-life care.  Performing goals of care discussions with an acutely decompensating cancer patient and/or their loved ones poses many unique challenges for the healthcare provider.  Not only must these critical conversations take place within a shorter time period, but providers must also be able to acutely manage symptoms and pain at the same time. 


Call for Abstracts:

The 2025 Oncologic Emergency Medicine Conference- Past, Present and Future - February 7-8, 2025, invites the submission of research, (Clinical, Translational or QI) abstracts.

The goal is to provide the audience an opportunity to collaborate and stimulate discussions specifically on how an emergency center delivers quality patient care whether in an academic, hospital or community based setting. The type of research can be qualitative or quantitative and have a focus in medical education in oncologic care in the acute setting, public health, health services, epidemiology, or public policy. Ideally, there should be a focus on the care of the cancer patient in an emergency department setting, but work in areas commonly encountered in oncological patients such as sepsis, pain, electrolyte imbalances, symptom management, and palliative care measures are also encouraged.
 
Authors may submit abstracts of completed work, work in progress, or work elsewhere within the past 12 months. When submitting abstracts, authors will indicate whether or not they'd like their abstract to be published in the Journal of Emergency Medicine (JEM). If yes, the first author will be contacted after the conference regarding authorship, order of author list, intellectual ownership, or institutional affiliations. 
 
Accepted abstract authors will be invited to create a PowerPoint poster (1 slide) of their research for display in an in-person, digital poster hall. Posters will be shared in PDF format and will only be available to paid registrants.
 
Note: In addition to submitting an abstract, conference registration must be completed.
