Key Topics / Themes

Individuals interested in submitting a proposal will be required to identify ONE track that best represents the presentation. Tracks are identified below:

• UME-GME Hot Topics
• Residency Prep
• Residency Selection
• Success in Residency

Submissions are being accepted for the following breakout session formats:

Workshops

Proposals should summarize how the session will address a meeting topic or theme and provide participants with materials and/or ideas that are immediately useful in their professional settings. Proposals that engage participants in in-depth discussion and/or involve hands-on activities are preferred.

Panel Discussions

Proposals should identify individuals who will address a central topic or theme. Information about how the session will allow for discussion among presenters must be included. Time should be allotted for attendee Q&A.

Roundtable

Proposals should identify individuals who will provide “viewpoints” on a central topic or theme. Cross-disciplinary interaction and discussion are encouraged. The submission should include an outline of the issue and the varying viewpoints to be presented.

Submission Requirements and Review

Submissions are limited to 300 words and must identify all proposed speakers, their titles, and academic affiliations. Proposals involving multiple stakeholders - medical students, resident physicians, GME training directors, and medical school educators - are encouraged. NRMP does not discount the registration fee or pay travel expenses for breakout session speakers, but the registration fee will be waived for medical students and residents presenting as part of an accepted proposal.

Submissions are due by 9:00 PM ET on June 7, 2019.
