Concurrent Educational Sessions - Click Here to download the Concurrent Session Guidelines
NAPNAP’s Conference Planning Committee encourages applications for Concurrent Educational Sessions that are intended to provide attendees with updates on clinical topics, practice issues and reflect the conference theme and conference tracks. Specifically, the committee is looking for topics that are different than previous years and reflect current science or trends in practice. The conference tracks for 2010 are: Mental Health, Emerging Science (evidence based clinical topics), and Professional Issues (legal, ethical, practice and research related to nurse practitioner practice). Pharmacology and a variety of primary and acute care topics are also needed. It is important that topics have strong clinical application, originality and are evidence based. Please note that speaking experience at the regional, state, or national level is required to submit an application for a concurrent session. The deadline for submission of concurrent sessions is June 1, 2009. Posters Presentations - Click Here to download the Poster Presentation Guidelines
Three categories for Posters are available, including Practice Innovations, Clinical Research and Evidence Based Projects related to pediatric health care. The committee is looking for abstracts with strong clinical applicability, innovative role development/practice models, new approaches to the management of pediatric healthcare problems and future oriented perspectives. The deadline for submission for proposals in the category of Clinical Research and Evidence Based Project is July 15, 2009 (Note: Abstracts may be selected for a podium or poster presentation.) The deadline for proposal submissions for Practice Innovations is October 1, 2009. Intensive Workshops
Intensive Workshops (IWS) are those sessions that provide skills training or may offer an in-depth review on a condition or topic. Most IWS sessions will be held on April 14, 2010. IWS sessions require special arrangements to allow for extensive interaction between the audience and the presenter, increased time for the session, special equipment requirements, or hands-on opportunities for the participant. Examples of IWS sessions include: Otitis Workshop, Opthalmoscopy Workshop, Radiology Review and all day Pharmacology Updates.
