How to Submit an Abstract for a Case Presentation
We expect the majority of participants at the workshop to present a clinical case for discussion. This year participants are invited to submit a short abstract (max 200 words) of the case they wish to present in advance so that we can be sure that on the day all the cases are discussed. Please select your cases according to one of the 4 themes for this year. Please email the abstract to espid@kenes.ch by 10.1.16. You will be informed in good time whether your case has been selected for presentation. Prizes will be awarded for the best presentations.
