  • Case study: These 25-minute oral presentations should describe a specific clinical issue and demonstrate the implementation of creative, innovative, and evidence-based solutions to that complex patient care problem. To foster audience participation, abstract submissions also should include two questions the authors will post to the audience during a 5-minute Q&A.
  • Keynote: Keynote sessions are based on a main underlying theme that will spark the interest of the rehabilitation nursing community. Proposals for these sessions should include one to three key concepts or takeaways and speak to the author’s experience and credibility in the subject matter described.
  • Preconference or postconference add-ons: These educational programs and activities take place before or after the main conference and can range in duration from one hour to more than a day.
  • Poster: Posters are visual presentations of clinical or research data. In-person poster presenters must be available onsite to present during poster exhibition sessions. Proposals for virtual posters also will be accepted.
  • General education: Typically 1 to 1.5 hours in length, general education sessions address a single subject pertinent to rehabilitation nursing. These sessions should promote learning and actively engage learners. General education sessions may include more than one speaker.
