Review criteria for Abstracts:
All podium, poster, workshop, symposium, and armchair discussion

Target Audience:
Please identify on the abstract submission form if the abstract content is most suitable for the novice educator or the seasoned educator. We will try to group some abstracts by target audience when possible.
