Overview
The Ohio Gastroenterology Society (OGS) invites Medical Students, Residents and Fellows to submit an abstract for poster presentation at the OGS annual meeting. This is an excellent opportunity to become involved in the OGS annual meeting and to enhance your reputation both within and outside your institution – and to network with physicians about potential practice opportunities. Close to 100 gastroenterologists will attend this meeting. This event will provide you with the opportunity to learn about new treatment options and research to advance towards excellence in gastroenterology clinical practice.
 

Submission and Review Process

Abstracts will be considered if they have been accepted for presentation at other North American conferences. If the abstract is accepted, an author must commit to attending the OGS Annual Meeting to present their poster. You may submit abstracts of completed work, work in progress or work presented at a local or regional level. The primary author is responsible for obtaining written consent form all authors and appropriate institutions prior to submitting an abstract.
