What are the different session types?
Plenary Sessions
The Plenary Sessions provide opportunities for all attendees to learn about topics of interest to the multi-disciplinary team of burn care professionals.
Educational Forums
Concurrently running sessions that provide more in-depth education on specific topics. These may have target audiences or be multi-disciplinary in focus. Any attendees with interest in the topic are welcome to attend.
Correlatives
The Correlative Sessions showcase new, cutting-edge research on clinical management, basic science, and other burn care issues through multiple short presentations by investigators of accepted abstracts. These presentations are followed by a question-and- answer period allowing for an exchange of ideas and additional learning. Abstracts are grouped by topic with sessions running concurrently.
Symposia
The Symposia are small group interactive sessions to allow peer learning. Moderators are instructed to come prepared to introduce at least four problems areas and to facilitate discussion around solutions. Participants should come prepared to participate with their own burn unit practice successes, failures, and questions.
