Annual Meeting Volunteers
Annually the ASBMR Scientific Program Committee seeks members who are willing to serve as an abstract reviewer or as an oral session moderator for the ASBMR Annual Meeting. Only ASBMR members are allowed to take advantage of this opportunity to engage with fellow researchers, physicians, and experts in the bone, mineral, and musculoskeletal field.
Abstract Reviewers:
Fair and thoughtful selection of the abstracts for presentation at the meeting is of utmost importance in preserving the academic excellence and leadership role of our Society. As an abstract reviewer you must:
- Be a current, paid ASBMR member through 2024
- Review and score approximately 50-100 abstracts
- Confirm agreement to keep the abstracts' contents confidential and disclose any conflicts
- Be an expert in the assigned review category
- Be available in late May to review and score abstracts
Oral Session Moderators
Abstracts selected as oral presentations represent the highest rated science submitted to the Annual Meeting. As a session moderator, you must:
- Be a current, paid ASBMR member through 2024
- Be available to attend the Annual Meeting in Toronto, ON, Canada, September 27-30, 2024
- Ensure that the session you chair begins and ends on time and that each oral presenter limits their talk to the designated time allotment
- Facilitate questions and answers between the audience and the presenter when necessary
Those who are interested in serving in this capacity must submit an interest form or be nominated. The Scientific Program Committee will review all volunteer submissions. Those selected as abstract reviewers will be sent invitations in early spring 2024 and invitations for oral session moderators will be sent in early summer 2024.
Nominations and interest forms are due on Friday, February 16, 2024.
