Abstract Categories
The organising committee cordially invites all healthcare professionals, researchers and students* to submit abstracts for the following categories:
1. Basic Science & Translational Research
This includes research in the areas of science considered fundamental to the study and practice of medicine (e.g. anatomy, physiology, pathology, epidemiology, biochemistry, etc.), as well as translational research, which aims to facilitate the application of basic scientific discoveries in clinical and community settings.
2. Clinical Research
-
Clinical Research – Senior (>35 years old as of 1 Jan 2018) (ie. Main author's birthday falls on or before 1 Jan 1982)
-
Clinical Research – Junior (≤ 35 years old as of 1 Jan 2018) (ie. Main author's birthday falls on or after 2 Jan 1982)
This includes research conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or a colleague) directly interacts with human subjects.
3. Education Research
This includes research that examines education and learning processes and the human attributes, interactions, organisations, and institutions that shape educational outcomes. It explains how learning takes place throughout a person's life and how formal and informal contexts of education affect all forms of learning. Education research embraces the full spectrum of rigorous methods appropriate to the questions being asked and also drives the development of new tools and methods.
4. Health Services & Systems Research
This includes research that examines the organisation, financing, and delivery of public health services within communities and the impact of those services. It would include the ability to prioritise health challenges, select the best approaches to solve a problem, adapt them to local contexts and test these in real-world conditions, and deciding upon wider implementation decisions.
*Students affiliated with SingHealth institutions (e.g.medical students form Duke-NUS, NUS YLLSoM, LKCMedicine and nursing or allied health students from polytechnics) are encouraged to submit abstract in any of the above categories.
The Committee will review all abstracts and determine if shortlisted abstracts are for oral presentation or poster judging.
Awards
