PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE STARTING YOUR SUBMISSION.

• Recommended browser is Google Chrome

• 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.

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

• Do not reuse proposals you’ve submitted for other meetings without adapting them to the poster format.

• Do not list yourself as First Author on more than one poster submission. If you list yourself as First Author on two or more poster submissions, the FMEC will only consider one. You can be listed as an additional author on multiple submissions, if you contributed to the research, but cannot be listed as first author on more than one.

• 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. Presenters who do not provide their email address(es) will not receive important Meeting updates and information, or be able to use the mobile app.

• Provide UNIQUE email addresses for each author. Authors receive important information pertaining to scheduling, meeting registration, housing, presentation and handout preparation, and more. Proposals that submit the same email (such as a coordinator's) in multiple presenter email fields risk not receiving important information and being denied access to the mobile app.

• Limit authors on your submission to five (5). We understand more than 5 individuals may have contributed to the content, but limit your list to 5 authors. Make sure to include those who intend to do the presentation at the meeting.

• 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. Do not submit unless at least one author will be able to register and attend. No payment is due with this submission form.

• No audio visual equipment is provided for poster presentations.

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 MEDICAL STUDENTS AND 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 medical student. Submissions received without one clear faculty co-author will be returned to the student or resident author.

Scholarships are available to eligible medical students, but others must register. Please contact jennifer.stamper@fmec.net if you have 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. Status letters will be sent to all authors in mid-July.
