Please read the following instructions before completing the abstract form.

  • Please fill out the abstract form completely. The text is limited to approximately 300 words. Tables can be included, but no images, graphs or charts.
  • Abstracts with a first author who is a resident in good standing are eligible for the resident competition. The abstract must be sponsored by an Association member, preferably one who is a co-author on the abstract. The resident must have had a primary role in the design, data collection and analysis, and preparation of the final manuscript. It is expected that abstracts that are selected will be presented by the resident. To qualify for an award, a manuscript must be submitted for consideration of publication in the American Journal of Surgery. Medical students are also eligible under the same rules.
  • Authors whose abstracts are accepted for the program are strongly encouraged to submit a manuscript. The AVAS has had a high success rate of abstracts being published in the American Journal of Surgery.
