The 53rd APMC Annual Convention Research Committee invites authors to submit abstracts on completed researches. The paper can deal with basic science, biomedical, clinical and community research studies. Authors must follow the guidelines for submission of abstracts below. Abstracts not conforming to these guidelines will not be considered for poster presentation.

Authors of abstracts should be currently medical faculty of APMC member medical schools. The presenter should be one of the authors of the paper and should be ready to answer questions during the open forum after the presentations. Those papers that qualified for podium and poster presentations and all considered winners already. As proposed by the APMC Scientific Committee, there will be no more ranking of winners since the submitted topics may differ from each other in terms of scientific content and health applications.
