Registration and Abstracts

The next Annual Meeting of the American Osler Society will be held in Pasadena, California from Friday, May 2, 2025 through Monday, 5 May 2025.  Please mark your calendars and save the dates. Below are instructions for Abstract Submission and Hotel Registration.

Abstract Submission (October 1, 2024 - November 15, 2024)

Abstracts will be submitted this year via an online application process for the first time (see Submit an Abstract, below).  The system will not allow you to submit an abstract prior to October 1, 2024.  There are no restrictions on who may submit an abstract. The abstract title should be followed by the author(s) name(s), affiliations, and biographical sketch (limited to 80 words). The biographical sketch is a description the moderator can use when introducing you. We will print exactly what you write in the program. You should write in the third person, e.g., if you were William Osler, you could say, "Dr. William Osler is Professor of Medicine at the newly opened Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He is the author of The Principles and Practice of Medicine, recently published by D. Appleton and Company. Dr. Osler has held previous academic appointments at Penn and McGill in Montreal."

The abstract should be no longer than 370 words. The text of the abstract should provide sufficient information for the Program Committee to determine its merits and possible interest to the membership. The problem should be defined and the conclusions should be stated. Phrases such as “will be presented” should be avoided or kept to a minimum. Only one abstract per person will be accepted.

Three learning objectives should be given after the abstract (limited to 12 words each). Each learning objective should begin with an active verb indicating what attendees should be able to do after the presentation (for example, “list,” “explain,” “discuss,” “examine,” “evaluate,” “define,” “contrast,” or “outline”; avoid noncommittal verbs such as “know,” “learn,” and “appreciate”). The learning objectives are required for Continuing Medical Education credit.

Each presenter will have a 20-minute time slot, which will be strictly enforced. Presenters should rehearse and time their papers to 15 minutes, in order to permit brief discussions and to be fair to the other speakers. Although 20 minutes might seem quite short for a paper in the humanities, our experience with this format has been overwhelmingly favorable.

Click on the button below and you will be taken to a sign-in page where you will enter your email address and create a password as shown in the illustration.  Please save your login as these credentials will allow you to return and edit your submission if needed. You will then be presented with forms that should be easy to follow asking for the required information. Please follow the instructions exactly.  You will receive automated emails informing you of the status of your submission.
