The International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) and the Scientific Committee of the 7th International Pediatric Simulation Symposia and Workshops, IPSSW2015, invites the submission of original scholarly work in the field of pediatric and perinatal simulation education, research, administration, technology, innovation and evaluation.

Submissions that align with the theme of the conference (IPSSW2015 – Reaching Out to the Future) are particularly welcome.

Completed projects, work in progress, abstracts previously presented at regional, national or international meetings will be considered. Simulation research using standardized patients/actors and virtual reality as well as mannequin simulators, task trainers and computer-based simulations are encouraged.

All abstract submissions will undergo peer-review. The Abstract Committee will allocate accepted abstracts to one of four presentation formats, based on scientific merit and preference indicated by authors:

Oral presentation in themed sessions,
Poster sessions,
Themed round table/panel discussions, or
Workshops.
In some instances, abstracts submitted as oral presentations or round table/panel discussions, and deemed to be of scientific merit, may be assigned as poster presentations due to limited availability of time for oral presentations.
As in other years, awards will be given for abstracts of exceptional quality.

Download the Abstract Submission Guidelines and submit your proposal using the Abstract Submission Platform no later than Friday 26 September, 2014, at 11:59 PM (GMT).
