Abstracts
We are excited and look forward to your participation in the SCOPE 2025 Conference scheduled for September 27, 2025! We invite any member, trainee or medical student to showcase their research or clinical findings at this meeting. Abstracts will be selected for either oral presentation or poster presentation based on peer review by members of SCOPE. Decisions regarding abstract selection will be emailed in early September 2025.
Please note that submitted abstracts can be previously presented at a national or international meeting at the time of abstract submission.
​
**See guidelines below prior to submission.**
If your research was funded (partially or fully) by a third party organization (ie, pharmaceutical or device manufacturer) a statement must be included as noted such as: "This research was funded in part by the XYZ, San Diego, CA."
Guidelines
Please limit abstract to no more than 2500 characters (includes spaces). The abstract should include all study outcome results. Figures and tables will not count towards word-count.
TITLE:
The title should be brief, but long enough to clearly identify the nature of the study. Use uppercase for the first letters of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Use lowercase for conjunctions, coordinating prepositions, and articles.
AUTHORS:
Please indicate if the first author is a medical student, resident, fellow, or junior faculty.
The body of the abstract should be organized as follows:
• A sentence stating the study's objectives.
• A brief description of methods.
• A summary of the results.
• A statement of conclusions.
ABBREVIATIONS:
Avoid abbreviations in the abstract title. Place nonstandard abbreviations in parentheses after the full word the first time it appears. Use no more than three nonstandard abbreviations.
​
DRUG NAMES:
Only generic names should be used. Nonproprietary (generic) names in lower case are required the first time a drug is mentioned.
We recommend “spell-checking” your abstract.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORAL PRESENTATIONS:
All oral presentations will be given live. The presentation will be for 15 minutes. Hence, most presentations should have between 15-20 slides (including disclosure slide). All presenters should be present for the full presentation. After the presentation, the audience can ask questions.
POSTER PRESENTATION GUIDELINES & INFORMATION:
The abstract session will feature live posters in the poster hall. The poster, measuring 4 feet high by 8 feet wide, will be displayed through the conference.
