Please note that presentations must be educational and informative in nature and not designed as a sales pitch. Sessions should offer attendees an opportunity to interact with the presenter(s) (e.g.; facilitate lively discussions, include time for Q&A) and provide attendees with clear ideas for how they can use the information learned in the session in their day-to-day research and/or clinical settings.
The American Pain Society recommends that proposals reflect APS’ multidisciplinary approach to pain; therefore, you may choose to include faculty representing varied areas of pain science, translational research, and treatment.
