Top academic pediatricians, policymakers, and clinicians utilize a variety of innovative approaches to address high-quality, scholarly topics of interest to the broad constituencies attending the PAS Meeting. All Scholarly Sessions will be 90 minutes. Clubs CAN NOT exceed 90 min.
Sessions will be reviewed and scored on the following criteria: academic rigor, contemporary relevance, feasibility, diversity (heterogeneity) and expertise of speakers, and learning objectives.
Scientific Tracks
SUBMITTING A SCHOLARLY SESSION
Choose session speakers from within the PAS community. PAS strongly encourages Scholarly Session Submitters to select members of partner societies (AAP/APA/APS/SPR) or Alliance society (PIDS) when selecting presenters for sessions.
Collaborate with other specialties. Presentations that cross multiple specialties are always well received by the PAS community. If your science touches other specialties consider reaching out to one of our Program Committee Members to discuss collaborating on a scholarly session with their specialty.
Session submitters will not be able to complete a session submission until all required tasks are completed. There are three required tasks to be completed by the submitter of the session and each speaker in the session:
- Profile Participation Information
- Conflict of Interest – Important COI Information
- Acknowledgment
All submitters are expected to give proactive attention to DEI as sessions are planned. See the PAS Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for full details.
SPEAKER SUPPORT POLICY
If accepted, all speakers are required to register for the PAS Meeting. Only Non-Members speaking continuously in the same session for 30 minutes or longer will receive Speaker Support. For more information please view the PAS Speaker Support Policy.
