Preventing Overdiagnosis 2022

 

Dear Colleague,

We are extremely pleased and excited to confirm that Preventing Overdiagnosis Evidence, Equity and Post Pandemic Health Care will be hosted by the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada 9-12 June 2022.
 
We are accepting abstracts against the following themes, however this list is by no means exhaustive and we welcome submissions on all aspects of preventing Overdiagnosis:
 

• Equity & Equality: disparities in healthcare provision, marginalized populations, conflicts of interest driving inequity
• Sustainability and lessons learned from COVID-19: repurposing healthcare after a pandemic
• Medicalizing citizens: the harms of screening, disease thresholds, industry influences, the role of media
• The role of specialists in generating Overdiagnosis and their efforts to mitigate it
• Clinical Practice: Other dimensions of ODx, overtesting and the harms of too much medicine

Oral abstracts can also be submitted for virtual presentation in September 2021, November 2021, January 2022 and March 2022.  
 
Submissions will be graded approximately six weeks prior to the session date.  Offering four deadlines e.g. the deadline for September 2021 virtual presentation will be sometime in July 2021.
Please choose Virtual Presentation prior to Calgary 2022 as your preferred means of presentation.
 
NB: Abstracts already submitted can change preferred means of presentation by logging back into the submission portal.
 
Virtual and face to face events will bring you a number of lively plenary debates about controversial and timely issues involving high-profile players from across the healthcare landscape.  
Registration is open

We are also bringing you the Lisa M Schwartz Scholarship an opportunity that provides awardees with PODC registration, funding toward travel and accommodation and the opportunity to present at the conference.

Submissions (made through the abstracts postal) should address an issue of relevance to Dr Schwartz work and interests, and be consistent with the vision and values Dr Schwartz championed in the communication of risk. 
 
Thank you for your patience, keep well.
