READ THIS BEFORE STARTING YOUR SUBMISSION.

• Recommended browser is Google Chrome due to some organizational firewalls blocking communications from outside organizations. Receiving Annual Meeting updates and information may be difficult to receive if using your organization's system.

• Write out your submission and save it before completing this form.

• Choose the appropriate category for your submission. Pay attention to program lengths (which range from 5 to 60 minutes) and do not outline a submission that is longer than the category of submission. Do not submit a proposal that is primarily didactic as a Workshop, which must be experiential or “hands-on.” Do not reuse proposals you’ve submitted for other meetings without adapting them to the FMEC format(s).

• Research or QI projects may submit if they are now in process. Complete the results and conclusions sections as best you can.

• Do not list yourself as First Author on more than one submission in any category. For instance, if you list yourself as First Author on two Lecture Discussions, the FMEC will remove one from consideration.

• Do not list yourself as First Author on more than four (4) proposals total.

• Be prepared to upload the first author’s CV in PDF format.

• Collect complete contact information for all authors BEFORE starting your submission. You must include names, degrees, institutions, email addresses, and phone numbers for ALL AUTHORS on your submission.

• Each author must provide their preferred email address. Authors receive important information pertaining to scheduling, meeting registration, housing, presentation and handout preparation, and more. Do not use your Coordinator's email for all authors.

• Each submission is limited to five (5) authors. No exceptions. Our system accepts a maximum of five (5) authors per submission. Include those who intend to do the presentation at the meeting.

• Use this online form. The FMEC will not consider submissions received by email or other formats. You can save and come back to your submission within 24 hours of starting it. If you do not come back to and complete that submission within that 24-hour period, it will be deleted, and you will need to resubmit.

• All presenters attending the Annual Meeting are expected to register and pay a full registration fee (except those on medical student scholarships; see below). By submitting this proposal, you agree that at least one author listed will register and pay to attend the Annual Meeting. Full meeting registration is required.

• The FMEC does not offer a one-day registration fee.

• No payment is due with this submission form.

• Do not submit a proposal that requires more than a standard AV set up (laptop, projector, screen). The FMEC will provide a standard AV set up for all sessions except Breakfast Table Discussions and Posters. We will provide manipulation tables for osteopathic sessions that require them. We will not approve submissions that require video conferencing or other additional technology. If your submission requires props or supplies, you are responsible for providing them.

• FMEC’s Annual Meeting is an opportunity for family medicine faculty and residents as well as medical students to present. Only current full-time medical students are eligible to present at the FMEC meeting.

• All Submissions from RESIDENTS MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE FACULTY CO-AUTHOR. The faculty co-author is strongly encouraged to attend and co-present when the submission is from a resident. Submissions received without one clear faculty co-author will be returned to the resident author.

• All submissions from MEDICAL STUDENTS MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE FACULTY CO-AUTHOR. The faculty co-author is strongly encouraged to attend and co-present when the submission is from a medical student. Submissions received without one clear faculty co-author will be returned to the student author.

• Scholarships are available to approved medical students. Some medical students are required to register for the Annual Meeting. Please contact jennifer.stamper@fmec.net for details and questions about your eligibility before continuing your submission.

• After submission, your proposal will be reviewed and rated by family medicine faculty throughout the northeast US. During review, the FMEC reserves the right to accept your proposal under another category, and/or that it be combined with submissions on similar topics. We will communicate those and other required changes before final acceptance.
