Judgement

All Lead Author Poster Presenters must be registered for the meeting and must attend. If you have not already done so, please register. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by a committee chosen by The Future of Regenerative Medicine Chairmen. This committee includes Kyle Cetrulo, Sean Murphy, PhD, Rouzbeth Taghizadeh, PhD, and Oula Khoury, MS.


Evaluation Criteria

  • Scientific Method: Are the methods appropriate for the type of study? Are the statistics or comparisons meaningful to the outcomes?
  • Perceived Importance: Do the results or presentation have any meaning to everyday practice? Do the results suggest a change in practice policies? Are the results preliminary requiring further investigation?
  • Innovation: Is the study new or different? Does it offer a different or new perspective?
  • Evidence Level: What level of evidence does this study/presentation represent? Is it high enough to consider using in patient care? Does it require further investigation before using in patient care?


Poster Preparations

Print posters to a maximum size of 4 feet by 8 feet, which is the outside dimensions of the standard 4’ x 8’ poster boards. Push pins will be provided.


Uploading Poster PDF Files

Please submit PDF files of your posters by Midnight Friday May 12, one week prior to the start of the Congress, so that we can publish them on the Congress website for attendees. Posters posted online on the FRMC website get indexed by Google and receive widespread viewership.

The Poster PDF submission deadline is Midnight, Friday, May 12. Poster PDFs received after this deadline may not be posted online.


Onsite Information

Please check in at The Future of Regenerative Medicine Registration Desk upon arrival. They will help you with any questions and direct you to where to hang your posters. The posters can be no larger than 4' x 8', which is the outside dimensions of the Poster Board frames. All Abstracts and/or Posters will technically become the property of PRESENT-e-Learning Systems. If you wish to take your poster home with you, please let us know.
Good Luck!
