The best e-poster will be rewarded with a free registration for Alpine Colorectal Meeting in 2024. All submissions are welcome - do not pass up this wonderful opportunity!
CALL FOR CASES
The presentation of clinical cases is a very popular part of our Alpine meeting as they are instructive, fun and a bit of a challenge! Please consider submitting one which illustrates a dilemma, difficulty or topic of interest in a powerpoint format. Short illustrative videos will also be considered.
Shorter cases and those which relate to the scientific program are preferred. We will certainly consider longer cases also but we may recommend that you edit them significantly. You might like to consider the format below.
Please avoid presentations of research, excessive background, needless complexity or more than a brief reference to the literature.
Cases presentations should ideally run for 5 minutes and should incorporate a question or questions for you or the chairpeople to pose to the audience. Images and pathology slides are encouraged and where appropriate, short video clips can be particularly good.
Please send them to iain.anderson9@btinternet.com or email him for further information or with any querie you may have as soon as you can as those received first will get some priority.
- Title 1 slide
- Background 1 slide
- Comorbidity 1 slide
- Investigations / operation etc 1-4 slides
- The dilemma 1 slide
- Treatment 1 slide
- Pathology 1-2 slides
- Literature/learning point 1 slide
