WARC 2016

The Planning Committee of the 54th Annual Western Anesthesia Residents' Conference (WARC2016) invites participants to submit abstracts of original and unpublished works for presentation.  Abstracts can only be submitted via the website.  Abstracts sent by post or email will not be accepted. Only one abstract should be submitted for each presenting author.

Upon successful submission, authors will receive an automated acknowledgment via email.

Lack of acknowledgment will indicate that the abstract was not received.

Abstracts must be received by March 28, 2016 at 10:00pm .  Abstracts received after this date and time will not be accepted.

2. Notification of Acceptance

The presenting author of each abstract accepted for presentation will be notified via email by April 1, 2016. If the presenting author is unable to attend the meeting and present the abstract, a co-author can be selected as an alternate presenter. The presenting author must inform the Scientific Committee of this change by April 8, 2016.
