Thank you to all those who submitted abstracts for the 2025 NASOM Conference!

Those presenting in a poster format, please note that the posters will be on display in the “Rose Island’ room. We will have foam boards and easels for you to put your posters on – please ensure that your poster is no larger than 36″x48” and if you are able, please bring your own pushpins and/or adhesive putty.

See Abstract poster and oral presentation tab for additional details.

We hope you will join us for the sessions and if you haven’t done so already, please be sure to register!

DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING AN ABSTRACT HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JANUARY 31, 2025!

NASOM Annual Meeting is a wonderful opportunity to share your research and clinical work with others who share your interests in medical disorders in pregnancy.

Abstract submissions are now being accepted for the April 25 & 26, 2025 NASOM Annual Meeting to be held at the Newport Harbor Island Resort in Newport Rhode Island!

The body of the abstract should be no more than 250 words and may include new research or case reports. Case reports should highlight the importance of cases to be presented and what they add to the existing literature. Research abstracts should be structured to include: Background and Purpose, Methods, Results and Conclusions. Submissions must include the presenting author and collaborators’ titles and affiliations as you would like them to appear in the meeting’s abstract material.

Presentations will be reviewed by the scientific committee of the society and all authors will be notified of the status of their abstract. Presentations may be accepted for poster or oral presentation.

The two best oral presentations and the two best posters by a junior faculty/trainee (with less than 5 years in practice) will be honored; this includes the Peter Garner Young Investigator Prize which will be awarded to the best oral presentation. Please indicate on your application if the presenting author is a junior faculty/trainee.

Please make every effort to submit abstracts for consideration by midnight on January 31, 2025 as a Microsoft Word attachment to Caroline Roy at info@NASOM.org
