Abstracts for the Eastern Pulmonary Conference September 12-15, 2019 ~ Due August 1, 2019
The EPC 2019 Annual Meeting will include poster presentations by pulmonologists and fellows-in-training, that will also feature a scientific program with interactive, problem-based learning and didactic lectures.
We urge you to participate by submitting your clinical research findings for consideration by our Poster Review Committee.
In preparing your abstract organize it into: a statement of purpose; statement of methods; and summary of results in sufficient detail to support the conclusion reached.
