Correlative Session Moderators:
Review the abstracts for your session in the Abstract Book.
Suggestions for Running an Effective Session:
Arrive in the room approximately 15 minutes prior to the session so you have time to check in with the co-moderator.
Check to make sure all abstract presenters’ PowerPoint presentations have been downloaded onto the computer in the room. There should be 8 abstracts assigned to your session. If a presentation is missing notify the AV technician
Meet the presenters prior to the beginning of the session to check pronunciation of their name. Remind presenters they must also verbally disclose and have a disclosure slide.
If you have a financial relationship with an ACCME-defined ineligible company, you must disclose it verbally to the audience. View the ACCME Accreditation rules here: ACCME Accreditation Rules
Introduce the abstract, authors, and the presenter
Keep the presentations on time
Each abstract presenter has 10 minutes to present with 5 minutes for questions (You may need to cut a presenter short to be respectful of all the presenters in the session)
As a moderator it is also your job to set the tone of the session.
Prepare at least one question for each abstract in case there are no questions from the audience
