Snow Season Education Retreat: Call for Abstracts

This is an open invitation to submit a poster about your educational work, innovation, or research at a receptive and welcoming event.  We are seeking poster submissions (whether current or recently presented work) for the 2021 Snow Season Education Retreat. This will be an opportunity for UVM LCOM educators to share ideas and to collaborate across departments. We are particularly interested in work related to the education of professionals across the continuum of learners. We will consider posters you have presented at previous venues, other than Teaching Academy events. 

The Snow Season Education Retreat will be held virtually on Thursday, January 14, 2021.  A virtual Poster Session will take place on Thursday, January 14, 2021 during the noon hour. If your abstract is selected, you will be expected to give a 1-minute elevator pitch for your poster. If you request a peer-review for your poster, you must be available during the Snow Season Poster Session for Reviewers the afternoon on Thursday, January 14, 2021.

The deadline for poster abstract submission has been extended due to the recent cyberattack at the UVM Health Network; the new deadline is November 20, 2020. Please reach out if you need more time! Click here to download the submission form. Please submit your poster proposal to Amanda.Broder@med.uvm.edu. You will receive notification by Monday, November 30, 2020. In addition, authors may elect to receive peer review and feedback on their poster(s). Contact teaching.academy@med.uvm.edu with questions.
