SAEM is now accepting original high-quality clinical images relevant
to the practice of emergency medicine for presentation at the 2013 SAEM
Annual Meeting in Atlanta. Accepted submissions will be displayed at
the Clinical Images Exhibit and may be featured in the “Clinical Pearls”
session or the “Visual Diagnosis” medical student/resident contest.
Guidelines:
-
No more than 3 different images should be submitted for any one case.
-
Submit digital copies only in JPEG or TIF format (resolution of at
least 2000 x 1600 pixels required, higher resolution images preferred).
-
EKGs, radiographic studies and other visual data are also considered but photographs are preferred.
-
Photographs must not appear in a refereed journal prior to the Annual Meeting.
-
Photo submissions must be accompanied by a brief case history (250
word limit) written as an “unknown” in the following format:
-
2 page Word document, 14pt font
-
Page 1: chief complaint, history of present illness, pertinent
physical exam (other than what is depicted in the photo), pertinent
laboratory data, one or two questions asking the viewer to identify the
diagnosis or pertinent finding(s)
-
Page 2: answer(s) and brief discussion of the case, including an
explanation of the finding(s) in the photo and one to three bulleted
take home points or “pearls”
6. If a patient can be identified in the image, written consent from the
patient must be obtained for the image to be displayed or the patient
must be appropriately masked to insure anonymity. An attestation
statement to confirm that written consent has been obtained is included
in the submission template.
Submissions will be selected based on their educational merit,
relevance to emergency medicine, image quality, the case history and
appropriateness for public display. Contributors will be acknowledged
in the Annual Meeting Onsite Program, the exhibit itself, and the 2013
July/August SAEM Newsletter. Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), the
official SAEM journal, may invite a limited number of displayed photos
to be submitted to AEM for consideration of publication.
If accepted
for display, SAEM reserves the right to edit the submitted case
history. SAEM will retain the rights to use submitted photographs in
future educational project, with full credit given for the
contribution.
