Annual Scientific Assembly
2021 ASA
63rd Annual Scientific Assembly (ASA)
Virtual Live Streaming Medical Conference
April 22 – 24, 2021
Winnipeg Manitoba
CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS FOR 63RD ANNUAL SCIENTIFIC ASSEMBLY NOW OPEN!
WHAT IS THE ASA?
The Annual Scientific Assembly (ASA) is recognized as Manitoba’s premier conference for family physicians. It is hosted by the Manitoba College of Family Physicians (MCFP). The conference offers continuing medical education and an opportunity for colleagues to share best practices in primary care. We encourage anyone with a special interest in promoting education in family medicine to submit an abstract for consideration.
Presentations should answer a single clinically relevant question. For example:
“Should metformin always be my first choice of medical therapy in type 2 diabetes?”
Firstly, this limits the talk to type 2 diabetes and to therapy decision. Secondly, it begs the question about situations where metformin may not be first choice. It is not a review of all diabetic medication.
Specifically, we are looking for:
- 15 or 20-minute presentations
- Evidence based
- Clinically relevant, practice changing, or a challenge to the status quo
- Category suggestions include:
- Diagnostic and other clinical dilemmas
- Drug and non drug therapies
- innovations in management
- hot topics
- other categories that stoke the interest of family physicians.
NEW! The ASA is following a new schedule this year, with presentations delivered by live streaming webinars.
Thursday, April 22, 2021 (8:30 am – 5:00 pm)
Friday, April 23, 2021 (8:30 am – 4:30 pm)
