Welcome to APM's 2017 Annual Meeting Call for Abstracts
You will be using this site to prepare submissions for APM's 2017 Annual Meeting. The meeting details are:
The theme of this year's meeting is Addressing Current Dilemmas in Psychosomatic Medicine: Consultants Consulting the Experts. While submissions that span the breadth of psychosomatic medicine are welcome, submissions that align with the meeting theme will be preferred over general subjects.

Clinicians in psychosomatic medicine face a wide breath of conundrums and controversies in all areas of practice. Therefore, successful submissions related to current dilemmas in psychosomatic medicine will cover a wide breadth of topics. We hope for an extensive range of presentations including, but not limited to, inpatient consultation-liaison, collaborative care, psychiatric emergencies, maternal-fetal medicine, child C-L, addiction, forensics, ethics, and other topics relevant to clinicians in psychosomatic medicine settings.

The APM Annual Meeting Program Committee is dedicated to assembling the highest-quality educational program for our attendees. Each year, the best-received sessions are those in which attendees learn information relevant to their work in a lively, engaging environment. In the spirit of continuous improvement we encourage all potential presenters to incorporate emerging knowledge about how adults learn in order to better engage their audience. This includes considering Socratic teaching methods and other forms of audience participation, flipped classrooms, and case-based instruction.

As with last year’s meeting, we will not be making a clear distinction between symposia and workshops but rather will be evaluating submissions as “general sessions”. Some of the sessions may be more interactive than others, similar to workshops, and this can be described in the abstract.

The abstract submission should be structured in such a way that it will be clear to potential participants how your session will enhance their knowledge incorporating the tenets of adult learning theory. Ideally the abstract will include: Keep in mind that the academic quality of the meeting continues to rise, making the competition for speaking slots rather high. Substantially fewer than half of paper and session submissions can be accepted, and many good submissions must be declined. With this in mind, please take extra care to make your abstract clear, rigorous, and engaging—it is the only information on which the Program Committee can judge your work.

IMPORTANT NOTE; PLEASE READ THIS: To provide the greatest breadth of presenters at the annual meeting while still keeping the high quality of the meeting's content, we will have the following limits on presentations:
