  • Research in Progress presentations do not need to have final analysis or results.  However, the participant should be able to discuss the other components of the project and the plan for the rest of the project. Educational projects in progress need to have a needs assessment (at least a general lit review and a targeted needs assessment), learner objectives and discussion of format methods done or planned, description of the curriculum and planned evaluation methods if not yet completed.

Live Presentations

Presenting residents will login to the virtual summit (held via Zoom) and present live to a panel of anonymous reviewers as well as any resident or faculty that may login and observe. If you miss your scheduled start time, there will not be another opportunity to present. Residents must be at your computer with the presentation slides open and ready on your desktop. We will offer an open practice time on the day before the webinar (Tuesday, May 20), for presenters who wish to test out their connection from their computer in advance and run through the process. 

Residents have up to 15 minutes to deliver the entire presentation. Presenters are limited to a maximum of 25 slides.  After the presentation, a 3-minute question and answer session follow with questions from two anonymous faculty reviewers.  All IAFP members are invited to log in and watch any of the presentations, but only the faculty reviewers will pose questions and score your presentation. CME credit will be offered.  Consider live-streaming the virtual summit at your program so that residents and faculty can stop by and view at any time during their day!
