  Presentation formats

  Panel
  A panel discussion is a situation in which a group of people are gathered together to discuss an issue, often to provide feedback on something, to brainstorm solutions to a problem or to discuss an issue of public concern in front of an audience.  As it is defined as discussion, most of the panel should be a conversation. Panel moderator should lay out the main topics and the fields of discussion for the audiance. Panelists should only use slides in order to present key figures, photos or graphics in their field of expertise. The moderator should follow the timing of the session carefully and make sure all topics are discussed within the time limits.

  Symposium
  Symposium is a formal meeting at which experts discuss a particular topic. Information about different aspects of the topic considering the best evidence and state of art should be provided within the symposium. The speakers should prepare proper slides to assist their presentation within the specified time limits.

  Workshop
  A meeting at which a group of people engage in intensive discussion and activity on a particular subject or project, by emphasizing on exchange of ideas and the demonstration, and application of techniques, skills, etc. As it is defined, Workshop may have a small presentation but that is all, most of the time should be used for group discussions relevant to the workshop questions and at the end the result of the discussions should be reported. These reports will be published in the Journal of Turkish family Physicians.

  Debate
  Two experts or team of experts debate around a single subject in turns. The discussion should be supported with scientific facts. The audiance should be included in the process and the moderator can sum up the discussions with a conclusion part.

  Brite

  The conference will provide the opportunity for the practicioners who are working in various fields of family medicine -clinics, education, etc.- to share their own knowledge and experiences, to ask their own questions and get answers. Brite sessions will fulfil this need. In the Brite sessions, groups of 20-25 participants will share their own experiences in a certain topic. All submitted abstracts which are accepted for Brite presentations will be published in the abstract book. You can participate in Brite sessions in 2 different ways:
  1- You can start your own Brite Theme where you can discuss a method you practice different than others, or fields where you experience some difficulties when practicing.
  2- You can join in one of the accepted Brite Themes in order to share your own ideas and experiences.

   

  Sample BRITE
  One of the most stressing things for me is to start on insulin on a type 2 diabetes patient. The guidelines are quite certain about this; however the risk of patient going in to hypoglycemia scares me, especially for elder patients. I developed a solution for these situations: there is an endocrinology specialist at a nearby hospital. I send the patient information to him for his approval. This increases my self-confidence and if there will be a complication with the patient in the future and I am relatively relieved of responsibility. What if my endocrinologist friend leaves the hospital and finds a job elsewhere; this is my biggest fear. How do you deal with such situations?

  An example for BRITE submission:

  Title: Insulin Initiation in Primary Care
  Abstract: One of the most stressing things for me is to start on insulin on a type 2 diabetes patient.

  Since a BRITE is your personal experience and thoughts, please do not include additional authors during abstract submission.

  Oral Presentation
  Partitipants will be given the opportunity to present their research in short oral presentations. Each session will consist of presentations around the same subject. The duration of oral presentations will be announced at a later stage.

  Poster Presentation
  Participants will be given the opportunity to present their research in poster presentations. Poster size and poster display sessions will be announced at a later stage.

   

   

  Abstract Evaluation Criteria

  Each abstract will be anonymously assessed by more than two reviewers, according to the following scoring grid:

  - Contribution to the scientific aspects of the family medicine discipline
  - Contribution to the family medicine practice
  - Compliance with abstract submission guidelines
  - Clear language
