Session Formats:
Oral Presentation (30 minutes)

The purpose of oral presentation session is to communicate scientific information or highlight clinical innovations in an efficient form. The session may have either a research or clinical focus. Research sessions present recent research findings or research in progress. Clinical sessions address the applied clinical aspects of the professions, such as the methodology of a specific diagnostic, a therapeutic strategy, or a unique service delivery model used by the clinician.
Poster Presentation (50 minutes)
- In-person only
- Audiology and speech-language pathology science/research topics
Poster presentations combine a short oral presentation with a visual display to facilitate the rapid communication of scientific ideas. During the presentation, viewers visually guide themselves at their own pace through the basics of the study displayed on the poster, while the presentation focuses on explanation, clarification, and discussion of key elements of the work. In-person poster presenters will be scheduled for a 50-minute session at the APSSLH Conference to answer questions and engage in discussion with the presenters and/or fellow viewers.
Symposium (1 hour)
• In-person only
