2005 APAP Education Forum
CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
APAP is seeking proposals and presenters for all sessions
to be offered during the 2005 APAP Education Forum in Las Croabas,
Puerto Rico. Presenting at APAP’s Education Forum is a wonderful
opportunity for those interested in scholarly activity. The deadline
to submit proposals is June 30.
Presentations
can take any of the following forms
Workshops are participatory experiences in which a maximum
of 25-30 percent of the presentation is didactic (lecture) and a
minimum of 70 percent involves the active participation of attendees.
Workshops can be for 45 minutes or one hour.
Roundtables are brainstorming sessions on preselected topics
and provide a forum for sharing ideas. These discussions are often
platforms for the generation of future workshops and can be for
45 minutes or one hour.
Panel Presentations are presented by a panel of experts
with various views on a particular issue or topic and can be for
45 minutes or one hour.
Pearls of the Profession are 15-minute presentations on
a single, narrowly-defined topic (e.g., “Choosing a Textbook”).
Faculty Paper Presentations are
15 minutes in length (10 minutes for presentation; 5 minutes for
questions and discussions). Faculty paper presentations follow additional
guidelines. These are outlined below.
Posters remain on display for two days and those accepted
for this meeting will also be invited for display at the 2006 AAPA
conference
