Accepted abstracts will be published in the Pathology Update abstract supplement in the RCPA Journal Pathology.
Submission deadline is final. Only submissions accepted before the deadline are able to be displayed at Pathology Update and published in the official Pathology Update abstract supplement in the RCPA Journal Pathology.
Permission to publish. If your submission has been published previously, it is your responsibility to check the previous publisher’s copyright requirements before submitting the abstract. You must have permission from the publisher to present the published abstract and poster at Pathology Update.
Abstracts for the Roche Scientific E-Poster Display will be considered by a subcommittee of the RCPA Board of Education and Assessment and all presenting authors will be notified when their abstract is accepted by email. Email acceptance must be saved by the author for any CPD requirements as the RCPA does not keep copies of acceptance emails.
Abstract/s must be accompanied by full registration of the submitting/presenting author. Author registration must be received by the early bird cut-off date. One full paid registration is required to accompany each abstract. Abstracts without a paid registration will be withdrawn. A co-author can register on behalf of the submitting author.
E-Posters will be on display onsite at Pathology Update via Roche e-poster kiosks, and also available via the Pathology Update conference Platform. Delegates are encouraged to attend the announcement of the Roche winners on Saturday at morning tea.
If you are submitting an abstract/s from a commercial industry organisation you are not eligible for the cash award prize.
You need to include a Conflict of Interest statement clearly outlining each author’s affiliation with the organisation in writing on your abstract and e-poster.
