Poster competition
The annual FPA poster
competition is back! We received a record number of submissions last year,
proving that physician associates are continuing to become more involved in the
field of research.
This year, we’re pleased to
welcome abstract submissions from both qualified FPA members and student
members. Individual and group abstract submissions will be considered and can
be related to the following topics:
· research
studies
· audits
and quality improvement
· clinical
practice and education
· patient
care
· mental
health and wellbeing
· workforce.
The FPA Research Committee encourages FPA members
who have conducted a piece of research, are in the process of a project or have
an idea to begin a project, to get involved. Student PAs are welcome to submit
their dissertation studies to the research competition.
Those delegates interested in submitting an abstract
are invited to download and review the abstract formatting guidelines prior to
completing the abstract submission form. The deadline for abstract submissions
is 31 July.
Successful delegates will be notified by 19
August and invited to submit a poster. The deadline for
successful applicants to submit their final posters will be 30
September.
Prize
There will be one overall winner, who will be
offered the opportunity to present their poster and research project at a
conference venue of their choice. All candidates are required to specify the
conference venue suitable to them at the time of submission. A printed
certificate and award will be presented to the overall winner.
Three highly commended submissions will receive a
printed certificate and have their poster displayed within the conference
venues.
All shortlisted posters will be made available on the conference platform for all delegates to explore.
Judging panel
The FPA Research Committee will judge the poster
competition. The overall winner and highly commended candidates will be
notified of their success by mid-October. The winners will then be announced
live at the FPA conference.
