Poster Session Disclaimers
The content of a poster presentation is the sole author’s opinion/research, not that of the NANP. The presenter is responsible for ensuring they are within their scope of practice and that the research is presented professionally and ethically.
Poster presenters have an opportunity to have their abstract published in the IMCJ and on PubMed Central. PubMed has the final determination on which abstracts are published and the timeline in which they are published. The NANP has no input in the decision-making process for PubMed Central.
