annual meeting
Poster and Workshop Review Committees
2023 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 Poster and Workshop Review Committees.
The Poster and Workshop Review Committees select the abstracts to be presented. In the Fall prior to the meeting, nominations are sought from AADPRT physician members to join the committees. Committee members then 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 whole. See below for the members of the 2022 Poster Review Committee and the 2022 Workshop Review Committee.
