2021 CALL for ABSTRACTS

The 2021 Annual Meeting of the North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology (Main Congress) will be held October 16-18, 2021. The meeting will be held in-person (with virtual option) in Atlanta, Georgia.  Preconference workshop dates are Wednesday, October 13 (ACMT Virtual Pre-Conference Symposium) and Thursday, October 14 (AACT Virtual Symposium.)  NACCT is an excellent forum for the presentation of original research in the field of toxicology.

Abstracts and Meeting Structure
Sixteen oral presentations ("platforms") will be selected and will be delivered over 10 minutes followed by a 5-minute discussion.  Additionally, NACCT 2021 will feature Lightning Oral Sessions including approximately 12 research abstracts.  Print posters will generally be grouped by topic and presented during one of 3 sessions.

  4. Abstracts must include the following sub-categories:
    1. Research Studies: Title; background or objectives; methods; results; conclusions.
    2. Case Series/Case Reports: Title; background; case report/series; discussion; conclusions. Do not include references in your submission.

  1. The abstract should be written in complete sentences using grammatically correct English. Spell out all abbreviations on the first usage.
