Symposium 2026
Ends on
Symposia are approximately 1.5 hours long. We recommend three original papers be included, with a recommended presentation time of 20 minutes each. Organizers may opt to include four shorter presentations if preferred. The organizer or moderator may provide introductory remarks on the topic. A discussant may be included if desired. Be sure to allot a minimum of 25 minutes for open discussion (per CME guidelines).
Instructions
Submissions must include a structured abstract (300-word limit) and 2-3 learning objectives. Please include information about how your work connects to the conference theme.
Instructions for Preparing Abstracts
Abstracts should include the following subsections: (1) Background, (2) Aims/Objectives/Issues of Focus, (3) Methods/Proposition, (4) Results/Potential Outcomes, and (5) Discussion/Implications.
Instructions for Preparing Learning Objectives
Please make sure you use learning objectives, not teaching objectives. Teaching objectives state what you are trying to teach. Learning objectives are what you expect the attendees to know or be able to do after attending your presentation. For example, "At the conclusion of this presentation, learners will be able to: Describe 3 challenges in mental health and mental healthcare that can be addressed through the use of community navigators and peer-delivered models."
