Call for Abstracts - NOW CLOSED

The purpose of this important international event is to provide a formal professional development meeting incorporating opportunities for health practitioners to interact, share experiences, teach and learn. The 2024 conference celebrates the diversity of aerospace medicine in Australasia. Abstracts and case presentations encompassing the breadth of practice in our region are invited.

The organising committee invites all those interested in the field of aerospace medicine to submit an abstract for either a scientific presentation or poster presentation at the 2024 conference. We particularly encourage members to submit abstracts for clinically difficult or unusual cases which they have encountered in their practice.  

ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Selected authors will be invited to present their papers in an appropriate session. It is anticipated that presentations will have a 20-minute time slot (15min presentation followed by 5min questions).

  • The ‘Eric Stephenson Award’ for best paper presented by a member of ASAM, AMSANZ or AMSVIC will be awarded at the AMSANZ & ASAM Conference in 2024. All accepted presentations by members (with the exception of the John Lane Oration and Patterson Trust Lecture) will be considered for this award.
