ELIGIBILITY
Abstracts are welcome on any new subject in clinical and
experimental surgery including patient series, case
reports, new procedures, preliminary results, diagnostic
techniques, etc.
Any medical student or surgical resident/fellow in training in
Cuyahoga or Summit County may submit an abstract for
consideration.
Abstracts submitted by residents/fellows outside of these
counties that are sponsored by a Cleveland Surgical
Society member will be considered on an individual
basis.
CRITERIA
Abstracts will be judged on originality, scientific or
clinic merit, clarity of expression and presentation of
data.
Abstracts are submitted with the
understanding that the essential substance and data are
original by the author.
Originality does not
prevent the data to be pending acceptance by any book,
journal, or previously presented at/or being considered
by any other national or regional meeting.
However, it does require
that the data not be part of any work previously
published.
AUTHORSHIP
Credit for authorship implies
substantial contributions to conception, design,
analysis and interpretation of date, and to writing and
revising the abstract for intellectual content.
The author is expected to present the
abstract, and no individual is permitted to present more
than one abstract at the meeting.
Should two or more abstracts be accepted with the
same author, he or she will be given a choice of the
abstract he/she will present.
SPONSORSHIP
Each resident/fellow must identify a sponsor
on the abstract form who is an active (dues paid) member of the Cleveland
Surgical Society and who will assume the quality and
integrity of the work.
The sponsor may assist in the preparation of the
abstract and oral presentation and must be listed as one
of the authors.
CATEGORIES
Authors of the abstracts should indicate whether their
study is clinical or
experimental in nature.
