ABSTRACT CONCURRENT SESSIONS
63RD ANNUAL MEETING – FEBRUARY 18-22, 2005

You are invited to submit case presentations for review and presentation for the Intersociety Liaison Committee Abstract Concurrent Sessions at the 63rd Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.

In support of specialty unity, the AAD Board of Directors approved a recommendation, to offer member societies of the Intersociety Liaison Committee the opportunity to hold concurrent sessions on Sunday afternoon of the Annual Meeting. The purpose of the sessions is to assure that the AAD Annual Meeting offers a representative cross section of programming from our dermatology subspecialties. The sessions will consist of oral paper presentations and will allow expansion of the educational program beyond the Advances in Dermatology plenary session.

These oral abstract-based sessions will be 2-3 hours in length at the discretion of the society, with a recommended length of 15 minutes per presentation. Abstracts will be submitted via the AAD web site, as indicated below. Abstracts will consist of a listing of author(s) and contact information as well as a 2500-character description of the presentation. Authors will also choose the specific session to which the abstract should be submitted. Session directors, appointed by the society, will select abstracts to be presented in coordination with the Scientific Assembly Committee.

THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS IS SEPTEMBER 13, 2004, 5:00PM (CDT).
