Education Session Proposal: Task Instructions
Post-Selection
If a proposal is chosen for inclusion in the VAM program, submitters are required to:
- Collaborate with the PGEC on the development and delivery of the proposed sessions, and adherence to all meeting requirements.
- Co-moderate their proposed session alongside a moderator selected from the PGEC. The PGEC moderator helps to coordinate the final agenda, supports faculty selection, and ensures no duplication of session content with other sessions occurring at the VAM.
Content for the VAM is delivered in three forms:
- Scientific/Abstract Sessions/Plenary Sessions/How I Do It Session - Abstracts are intended primarily for the presentation of scientific research in various topic areas.
- These sessions occur during the morning session of the meeting.
- Abstract submission opens in November of each year.
- Education Sessions - The VAM Education Sessions occur in programs of varying sizes, taking formats such as small group interactive lectures, case-based courses, hands-on, and innovative/non-didactic approaches.
- These sessions occur as breakfast sessions and in the afternoon. They run concurrently to other Educational Sessions.
- There are no restrictions on who submits these proposals. Committees/volunteer groups can submit multiple high-quality proposals.
- Educational proposal submissions open in July of each year.
- Invited/Named Presentations -There are annually three invited/named sessions that occur during the VAM. They include the rotation of the Crawford Forum, Greenberg Lecture, Homans Lecture, and Veith Lecture. The topics for the invited sessions are selected by the SVS Leadership.
