Call for Abstracts:

The 2024 Oncologic Emergency Medicine Conference invites the submission of abstracts in two areas:

• Clinical Research
• Quality Improvement Research

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 on 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 encouraged.

Authors may submit abstracts of completed work, work in progress, or work elsewhere within the past 12 months. Selected abstracts will be published in the Journal of Emergency Medicine.

Accepted abstract authors will be invited to create a PowerPoint poster (1 slide) of their research for display in an in-person digital e-poster hall. Posters will be shared in PDF format and will only be available to paid registrants.
