THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY ANESTHESIOLOGISTS

The 2006 American College of Veterinary Anesthesiologists' will be held on October 12-13, 2006 at the Hotel Allegro in Chicago, Illinois.  The format of the meeting will be similar to the programs of previous years and should consist of general sessions and simultaneous dual abstract sessions. 

Individuals who wish to present abstracts at the ACVA meeting are encouraged to do so.  Oral presentations of each accepted abstract will be about 12 minutes in length with three minutes allowed for questions and change of speakers.  The deadline for submission of abstracts is June 1, 2006.  Abstracts may be submitted by surface mail, fax, or through electronic mail.  Abstracts will be coded, blinded, and forwarded to the Education Committee to determine suitability for presentation.  Following review by the Education Committee, authors will be notified by August 15, 2006 regarding abstract acceptance.  Preference will be given to abstracts that have not been published or presented elsewhere.  If space does not allow all accepted abstracts to be presented, a poster session will be scheduled.  Please indicate in your cover letter your preference for an oral or poster presentation.  Should a poster session be required, the Education Committee will try to accommodate the author's preference but will reserve the right to assign authors to the poster session if scheduling constraints necessitate that option.  All accepted abstracts, whether given as oral presentations or as poster presentations, will be printed in the proceedings distributed at the meeting.

The abstract form and two copies of the abstract should be submitted to Dr. Riebold at the address below.  Please circle, highlight, or otherwise designate the keywords of your abstract for the index on one of the copies of your abstract(s).  Additionally, it is requested that a copy of the abstract be sent on disk, preferably as a Word Perfect, Word, or ASCII file, if you do not use electronic submission.  The abstract form and instructions for its use are available as files on the ACVA web site.  If desired, individuals may obtain the kits from Dr. Riebold.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.
