Dear Health Care Professionals,

The Fetal Therapy Nurse Network invites you to submit a poster abstract for our upcoming 1st Annual Conference: Integrating Holistic Approaches into Fetal Care on June 23rd & 24th, 2025. We are excited to announce that we will host poster sessions on June 24th from 10:25 AM to 10:55 AM. Please find the attached agenda.

This will be a hybrid event, and selected poster presenters will be required to submit an electronic version of their poster for virtual attendees. We are seeking submissions that explore scholarly work in fetal care. Whether you're sharing research findings, presenting a clinical study, or discussing a topic of interest, we encourage abstracts that are state-of-the-art, evidence-based, and designed to challenge healthcare professionals at all levels of expertise.

  • We welcome poster submissions in all areas related to fetal care, including, but not limited to:

    • Medical, Nursing, Genetic, Social Work, Respiratory Care, and other health disciplines

    • Patient and Family Education

    • Interprofessional Education

    We aim to showcase the diversity of work within fetal therapy, so abstracts from any of the following types of projects are encouraged:

    • Evidence-based practice projects

    • Clinical research studies

    • Quality improvement initiatives

    • Educational issues in fetal care

  • Please include the following in your abstract submission:

    • Title

    • Author List

    • Email Contact

    • Poster Abstract (limit: 400 words) that includes:

      • BackgroundAims/Purpos

      • Methods

      • Results

  • Abstracts will be evaluated based on the following:

    • Relevance to the conference theme

    • Well-defined statement of the problem

    • Clear research methods

    • Well-supported results with a strong conclusion

    • Clinical implications

    • Contribution to the advancement of fetal therapy and care

    Given limited space, we aim to select posters that reflect a diverse range of disciplines (e.g., nursing, genetics, social work) while demonstrating high scientific merit.

  • Selected posters will have the opportunity to be presented both in-person on the garden level and virtually for remote attendees.

    If you have any questions or need assistance with your abstract submission, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Allie Wayne at ftnnboard@gmail.com.

    All submissions should be completed at: Abstract Submission Form 

    We look forward to reviewing your submissions BY March 24, 2025!!
