2023 Call for Abstracts


Call for Abstracts is now closed

The Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society is pleased to offer multiple ways for you to get involved in the Annual Meeting. One way that you can ramp up your Annual Meeting experience is to submit an Abstract, a Case Report/Series or a Technical Booth - this allows you to share your research in a variety of ways and might also place you in friendly competition with your colleagues.

The Annual Meeting Abstracts offer the opportunity of making your work known among the Canadian anesthesia community and competing for CAS abstracts awards. We welcome submissions from a diversity of subspecialties and areas of interest.

Top reasons why you should submit an abstract, case report/series, or technical booth:

  • Enhance your résumé - Presented Abstracts, Case Report/Series are published online in the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia.
  • Share your research - Expand your profile and share your knowledge in the greater anesthesiology community.
  • Network with colleagues - Make new connections and strengthen existing ones!
All submissions are pre-screened by the Scientific Affairs Annual Meeting Subcommittee. Accepted abstracts may be eligible for a best abstract award in their specified category or be included in poster sessions. The highest scoring abstracts are selected to compete in the Residents' Oral Competition or the Richard Knill Research Oral Competition. All abstracts presented at the meeting are published in the Canadian Journal of Anesthesia.

Technical Booth

CAS members can make a submission to request a technical booth to promote knowledge of a non-commercial product or service. This is a prime opportunity to showcase new advances to Annual Meeting delegates attending the exhibit hall. Up to two complimentary booths will be awarded.
