2nd Call for Abstracts:

COVID Innovation and Pandemic Responses

CLOSED

All notices of acceptance have now been emailed, including those from the 1st call. Notices were sent only to the primary contact on submissions. If you did not receive a notice, please first check your spam folder and then email events@secretariatcentral.com.

The CAGP and CCSMH have made the difficult but important decision to transition our Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) to a virtual format. The virtual ASM will be held over the original meeting dates, October 16 and 17, 2020. The committee is working hard to make this an innovative and inspiring learning opportunity that will not only help us connect from coast to coast but provide the educational quality, networking and enjoyable social opportunities that you have come to expect from the CAGP-CCSMH meeting. We look forward to providing more details and a program as soon as possible!

Thank you to those who submitted an abstract for our in-person meeting and we sincerely apologize for the delay in acceptance responses. At the moment, we are reviewing content and determining how this will be programmed into a virtual format. We appreciate your patience!

We are also excited to announce a late-breaking opportunity to submit an abstract in our 2nd Call for Abstracts. The content we are interested in is specifically related to responses to the pandemic and COVID-related innovation and will be presented in short 5-10 minute blocks. Details on how to submit and the deadlines for submission are below.

Sincerely,

The 2020 ASM Planning Committee

#CAGPCCSMH2020
