Poster Guidelines

UW Continuing Nursing Education encourages conference participants to submit a poster abstract!

Please read through each section carefully before submitting an abstract. If you have further questions, contact cne@uw.edu.

General Information

• Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by a subsection of the planning committee according to subject sub-specialties and categories. This is a brief abstract only. Not a poster file or a manuscript submission.
• Completed work/projects or ongoing work/projects can be submitted for a poster presentation; however, you must indicate in your abstract submission if this is a completed work/project or an ongoing work/project.
• Abstract submission is applicable to clinical, education, healthcare policies, patient safety, quality improvement, case reports, product invention, or research. 
• UWCNE does not offer CE credit for abstract/poster presentations during Conference. 
• If successfully reviewed, the final abstract acceptance will be conditional upon registration by the primary presenting author.
