Call for Abstracts – Rural & Remote 2027

Abstract Submission Deadline: November 16, 2026

Abstract Categories

The Planning Committee is accepting abstract submissions for the following session types:

  1. Session Lectures (Breakout Sessions)
    Engaging 60-minute presentations focused on knowledge-sharing, clinical updates, or innovations in rural and remote healthcare.
  2. Hands-on Workshops (Small Group Learning)
    Interactive, skills-based sessions designed for deeper clinical learning. Standard length is 60 minutes, but proposals for 2-hour sessions are welcome.
  3. Add-On Courses (Pre/Post-Conference Offerings)
    In-depth training offered before or after the main conference dates. These extended sessions—half-day or full-day(s)—are ideal for immersive learning in specific skill areas, certifications, or procedural training relevant to rural practice.
