Program & Abstract Review Committees

2026-27 Program Committee

The Annual Meeting Program Committee is comprised of the current chair, chair-elect, and past chair. They work with the executive director to plan the annual meeting serving one year in each position for a total of three years. This ensures planning continuity and consistency. They also oversee the Abstract Review Committee that selects posters and workshops for the Annual Meeting.

AADPRT physician members join the Abstract Review Committee to review and rate every abstract according to relevance, rigor/evidence-base, and pedagogy. Priority is given to abstracts submitted by teams with first-time presenters and multiple institutions represented. Final decisions are made by the committees as a whole. See members of the 2025-26 Abstract Review Committee below. The 2026-27 committee will be announced on Monday, 8/31/26.
