Abstracts Are Open
The program committee of the 2023 North American Veterinary Dermatology Forum (NAVDF) is calling for contributions for Free Communications (Original Research, Clinical, Resident, and Poster abstract sessions) to be presented at next year’s meeting in Seattle, Washington.
Original Research Abstracts: This session will consist of short oral presentations (12 minutes) of original scientific studies (basic, applied, clinical) in animal or comparative dermatology.
Clinical Abstracts: This session will consist of short oral presentations (10-12 minutes) of interesting case reports or clinical studies.
Resident Abstracts: This session will consist of short oral presentations (12 minutes) of the ACVD residents’ original research.
Posters: This session will consist of reports in poster format of investigative and clinical studies. The size of the poster boards will be 4’ x 4’. Poster abstracts should be no larger than 4 feet by 4 feet (4’ x 4’). The posters will be available for viewing from Tuesday evening until Friday afternoon.
Studies submitted should not have been presented at a national or international meeting nor published prior to the 2023 NAVDF. Abstract authors are expected to register for NAVDF. Abstracts submitted for all sessions should adhere strictly to the format guidelines for the NAVDF (see attached guidelines and example abstract). The abstracts must include the final results of the study. Incomplete abstracts or failure to follow the format will lead to rejections of the paper without review. Each abstract will be evaluated blindly by three to five members of the program committee and scored based on design, originality, and relevance to veterinary dermatology. The abstracts will be ranked according to score and selected for presentation in the session requested or deemed appropriate, based on available space. For 2023, all presentations (except posters) are required to be prepared utilizing Power Point and copied to a flash drive for LCD projection.
