Abstracts are now open

Deadline: February 3, 2012, noon CST

The call for abstracts is open to members and non-members of the WUS, and we encourage all Wisconsin residents to submit a presentation for our annual Resident's Competition. 1st and 2nd place cash awards are given to residents from both the Madison and Milwaukee residents programs.

Please forward your abstract submission to info@wisurol.com.

Important : The ACCME has implemented a new regulation for abstract submissions. In addition to the presenter, it is now required that all authors must disclose any affiliations or conflicts by completing a "Speaker and Planner Disclosure Form" in order for the abstract to be eligible for consideration as part of this year's program. Given the new requirement, individuals submitting an abstract must now include all abstract author email addresses. An abstract will not be considered unless the completed disclosure form is received from each author.

After the abstract is successfully submitted, an email will go out to each author requesting their disclosure for the abstract. Please ensure all authors are aware of this requirement.

Abstract Preparation Instructions

1. Please type the title of paper in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Only the title need be all caps.
2. Use first name and middle initial of all authors, listing the principal author first. List city and state of origin, but not the institution.
