Call for Abstracts

The American Society of Hand Therapists invites you to share the results of your research and contribute to the excellence of our 47th Annual Meeting by submitting a scientific abstract to the official ASHT collection site. Your abstract will be blindly peer reviewed and may be accepted for an oral presentation or poster presentation. All accepted abstracts will be published in the Journal of Hand Therapy, the official journal of ASHT. Abstracts can be submitted on any aspect of hand and upper extremity-related research.

Please note: You may submit as many abstracts as you wish; however, ASHT will only accept up to two abstracts per author to avoid the submission and acceptance of "like" abstracts. ASHT welcomes abstracts previously submitted to other meetings.
