Abstracts are limited to 2,060 characters, not including spaces. Review your submission very carefully. You may edit and correct your abstract until the abstract deadline, but after the deadline SAEM will not accept corrections or editiorial changes. Abstracts will be published exactly as they are submitted. Abstracts must be organized in a structured format Do not "split" data to create several abstracts from one investigation. During the review progress, if splitting is judged to have occurred scores of related abstracts will be reduced
This form has been tested on the following web browsers: Internet Explorer 6 and FireFox 1. Use of other web browsers may result in reduced functionality. If you experience difficulty with copying and pasting, use the keyboard shortcuts CTRL C for copy and CTRL V for paste.
Tables must be entered into the form using the Table Editor located on the table toolbar at the top of the box. The Table Editor will allow you to choose the number of columns and rows, width of cells, layout of the table (alignment and border thickness), and spacing (cell spacing and cell padding).
Do Not use tabs. Do Not use macros.
Structured Abstracts: Abstracts in all categories must be organized in a structured format.
Structured abstracts facilitate explicit presentation of critical information and objective assessment of scientific validity. There are four required topic headings: Objectives, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Optional headings are Background or Introduction. It is not necessary to begin a new line or leave extra space between topic headings.
Objectives: Begin with a precise statement of study purpose or a pre-study hypothesis. This may be preceded by a brief introduction summarizing past work or relevant controversies that place the study in perspective.
Methods: Sub-headings will be determined by the nature of the study. It is not necessary to identify each of the following sub-headings separately and it may be possible to incorporate several features of the study methodology into a single sentence. Design: Clearly state the study design, identifying them as observational or experimental. For observational studies, specify the temporal profile of the study as prospective, retrospective, or cross-sectional. Other descriptive terms such as cohort, case-control, or survey should be used as appropriate. Blinding should be described where relevant. Setting: For clinical investigations, describe the study site (e.g., community hospital ED, university tertiary referral center, urban Level I trauma center). Participants/Subjects: Indicate the study population, study dates, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and method of sampling (consecutive, convenience, random). If matching was employed, specify the criteria by which subjects were matched. If controls were utilized, identify them as concurrent or historical. Interventions/ Observations: For experimental studies, clearly describe interventions. The data analysis section should include the type(s) of descriptive or inferential statistical methods used. The observations should be a list of major data elements or outcome measures relevant to the study objective. Negative studies should be accompanied by a statement of power, beta error, or confidence intervals.
Results: Specify measurements critical to the study objective or hypothesis. Specify associations or differences between or among groups under comparison using p values or preferably, confidence intervals. Note total number of subjects or participants, number meeting inclusion criteria who were excluded, and number enrolled who were lost to follow-up.
Conclusions: Conclusions should be succinctly stated and firmly supported by the data presented. Note important limitations.

- Only reports of original research may be submitted. Only abstracts submitted using the OASIS online abstract submission form will be considered. Abstract grading is blinded and abstracts are selected on the basis of scientific merit. Expert reviewers use an established and comprehensive scoring system.
- The abstract (or data or resultant paper) must not have been published in a peer-reviewed journal prior to the SAEM Annual Meeting.
- Abstracts (or data) previously presented at international (held outside of the U.S.) or regional meetings may be submitted to this Meeting.
- Abstracts (or data) previously presented at national meetings in a non-Emergency Medicine specialty may be submitted.
- It is the authors' responsibility to submit abstracts free of typographical or other errors. The abstract submission form allows authors to edit their submission, including the addition/deletion of authors, up to the submission deadline. Changes or corrections will not be accepted after the abstract deadline.
- Authors must certify that the research has been approved by an institutional review board or an animal use committee. SAEM reserves the right to request documentation of IRB approval. Failure to provide documentation may result in disqualification of the abstract.
- If accepted for presentation, the presenting author must register to attend the Meeting, and must remit the appropriate registration fee.
- We strongly encourages authors to submit their manuscripts to Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), the official journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine.
- Accepted abstracts are assigned to oral or poster presentations.
- Abstract decision letters will be sent via e-mail to the corresponding authors. A list of the accepted abstracts will be posted on the SAEM web site in early September. Decisions are final. All decisions of the Program Committee are final. There is no appeal
