Abstract Submission Instructions
for Poster Presentation
- All abstracts are limited to a 500 word count, which includes the title and author information and any tables or images. The electronic system will not accept abstracts exceeding the 500 word limit.
- Tables and graphics may be uploaded to the electronic submission system. Including a table and/or graphic may reduce the number of words you will be permitted to submit. Please note that tables and graphics are included in the 500 word limit.
- IPA strives to maintain fair balance in all meeting presentations and educational activities. Generic drug names are to be used. Commercial (product, brand) drug names may not be used anywhere in an abstract, on slides or on posters.
- IPA encourages high quality and that poster presentations are original and unpublished work.
- We recommend that you have all required information available when you actually begin submitting your abstract online. It is suggested that you should compose your abstract in your own word processor in order to check spelling and word count. In the online submission process you will submit the following information:
- choose the meeting topic, subtopic, track and keywords in which you wish your work to be included from the list provided on the electronic system. A track is a group of sessions that will be particularly relevant to a specific discipline, concentration or area of study.

- Submitting abstract text:
Compose your abstract off-line and either copy and paste it into the form, or submit it as an HTML file (this is recommended if your abstract contains a complex equation, many italicized words, superscripts, subscripts, many unusual symbols, or a table.)

Objective: An introductory sentence indicating the objective and purpose of the study.
