New this year - We have updated our abstract topic categories and added new submission categories. Authors will first select their submission category as either a Research-based abstract or a Descriptive-based abstract. Then you will select the appropriate topic category. Select the category you think fits best. If you are not sure, select one of the 2 general categories - Anatomical Sciences or Education. The programming committees will review all abstracts and program it within the category that they feel fits best.
