Submissions Due:
12 JULY 2021
Hands-On Workshops and Cadaver Labs are innovative sessions that provide attendees with opportunities to practice the latest methods and gain hands-on experience in order to better understand and apply the techniques learned in these workshops and labs to their working practice.
Each workshop or lab can be typically divided into four (or more) stations, each led by a faculty expert. Attendees will rotate in groups through the stations and interact with apparatus, devices and equipment in order to practice new methods. These workshops are 3.5 hours in length and should have 4-8 speakers (1 or 2 faculty leaders per station). If necessary to the learning scope and objectives, stations and the respective leaders can be increased, but this is a number provided as general guidance. In order to practice social distancing and to adhere to local safety guidelines, you may be asked to repeat your program so that more attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the workshop.
Hands-On Workshops and Cadaver Labs will be presented on 19 September 2022 in Toronto, Canada. If you are submitting on behalf of your panel of speakers, you will be asked for the information outlined below.
Best Practices
Diversity and inclusion are organizational priorities of IASP and programming must ensure representation of all members. IASP encourages and promotes participation, accessibility, active representation and leadership from diverse populations, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, economic status, disability, age and religion. Beyond promoting diversity, the association promotes an environment that is supportive of all diverse groups in the interest of advancing science.
