Submit Abstracts for 2023 Clinical Congress, Quality and Safety Conference

As 2023 approaches, now is the ideal time to prepare your research and presentations for inclusion at two of the ACS’s most significant science and educational conferences: Clinical Congress and the Quality and Safety Conference.

Clinical Congress 2023

Abstracts, videos, and surgical history posters can now be submitted for presentation consideration at Clinical Congress 2023—the premier surgical educational meeting that takes place October 22– 26 in Boston, MA. Submissions close on Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at 11:59 pm CT.

The call for submissions includes:

• Owen H. Wangensteen Scientific Forum, which offers researchers the opportunity to present the results of their original, basic science, clinical, education, health sciences, and translational research

• Video-Based Education Sessions, which educate surgeons and members of surgical teams to improve the care of the surgical patient, as well as safeguard the standards of care in an optimal practice environment
• History of Surgery Poster Session, which offers enthusiasts the opportunity to present on subjects related to the history of surgery and its subspecialties

All submitted content must be original works and first presented and published at ACS Clinical Congress 2023.

2023 Quality and Safety Conference

The ACS has issued a call for abstracts to be presented at the 2023 Quality and Safety Conference, July 10-13 in Minneapolis, MN. The submission deadline is Tuesday, February 28, 2023.

Individuals at participating ACS Quality Program sites are encouraged to submit a 250-word abstract for poster and/or podium presentation. The abstract should relate to surgical quality improvement initiatives, including the development, implementation, or validation of best practices. Operational best practices relating to workflows around collecting data and reporting are also of interest. Abstracts should utilize data from one or more of the ACS Quality Programs, which can be viewed on the conference web page. There is no limit on the number of abstracts per author. 

Note that abstracts that have been submitted or recently presented at other meetings are eligible for presentation at the ACS Quality and Safety Conference. Previous presentation of a paper also does not prohibit presentation or publication of the material at the Quality and Safety Conference.
