Introduction

Whether you are a clinician, a researcher, or you identify as both, you may be interested in sharing your findings at a conference. The first step to sharing your work is the submission of a conference abstract. A conference abstract is your opportunity to present your work with your peers and to grow your professional network. Although each conference will have its own specific requirements for an abstract, it can be intimidating to determine where to start. This course is applicable to clinicians, early career researchers and even seasoned researchers who would like a reminder of the fundamental elements of presenting a conference abstract.

It is a fantastic course! The topic is usually not taught quite well in school (in my context). Physioplus helped a number of us who missed it while at school. Thanks, Physioplus for this course!!
