USPATH Opens Call for Abstract Submissions - USPATH 2023 Scientific Symposium, November 1-6, 2023
Date:
March 15th 2023
The USPATH 2023 Scientific Symposium will be held in Westminster, Colorado (Denver Metro Area), November 1-6, 2023 (Pre-Courses: November 1-2, 2023; Scientific Symposium: November 2-6, 2023). We look forward to receiving your submission. The Symposium will be held live with a virtual companion platform for additional viewing options.
At USPATH, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion remain at the core of our values in pursuit of scientific excellence. We are committed to advancing health equity and fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. These values are especially important now with ongoing initiatives across the United States which threaten and negatively impact transgender and nonbinary people’s health and lives.
Invitation to Participate
The United States Professional Association for Transgender Health (USPATH) invites the submission of abstracts for Oral and Poster sessions as well as State-of-the-Art Symposia to be considered for presentation at the USPATH 2023 Scientific Symposium (November 1 – 6, 2023). Pre-courses will be held on Wednesday, November 1 and Thursday, November 2, 2023. Opening session will be held at 5:00pm on Thursday, November 2, and the main conference sessions will be held from Friday, November 3 through Monday, November 6, 2023. If you are submitting a surgical abstract, you may be invited to present in the USPATH Surgeon's Only Pre-Course on Wednesday, November 1 - Thursday, November 2, 2023.
With the continued success of the WPATH and USPATH Scientific Symposia, we are thrilled to be able to bring you the USPATH scientific content via both an in-person and a virtual platform that will include plenary sessions, oral abstract sessions, mini symposia, as well as access to the posters.
Courses that run concurrently will be recorded and available to watch later. This format will allow attendees to watch live or recorded sessions and receive credit hours for both.
The Steering Committee will work to schedule a program that will offer a great educational experience with a variety of viewing options. Our goal remains the same; to promote evidence-based care, education, research, public policy, and respect in transgender health.
