The 2020 WGEA Spring Conference will highlight the following themes in medical education that contribute to success along the full spectrum of the student and educator experience.

Finding Common Ground:
Saying "yes and!" to diverse perspectives and equitable practices
Attune:
Being mindful of others, yourself and the situation
Affirm:
Validating others and yourself
Advance:
Creating a collective story that enriches others and yourself through the exchange of ideas

The WGEA invites abstracts for oral abstracts, posters, workshops, panel and small group discussions for the 2020 annual conference. Proposals may represent completed original research or innovations in medical education. Abstracts can focus on any level of medical education (UME preclerkship or clerkship, GME, CPD, or across the continuum). All abstracts should be submitted no later than October 31st, 2019 11:59pm EST.

We recommend that you prepare your proposal in a word processing application and then paste each component into the corresponding online section. An abstract submission is considered a commitment to attend the meeting and present if accepted, and an acknowledgement of the costs associated with travel and the meeting registration. Abstract decisions will be sent to the contact author in January 2020. All abstracts will undergo a peer-review process by at least three reviewers. Students, residents, fellows and new investigators are strongly encouraged to submit their work.
