The organising committee are now calling for abstracts and expressions of interest to conduct workshops and presentations with an educational focus for this meeting from staff currently teaching into oral health programs.

There are 3 categories:

1. Workshops (60 or 90 Minutes)

This category is for interactive sessions with participants that focus on developing skills in a particular area of assessment.

2. Oral Presentations

For this category, abstracts topics must be in accordance with the COHA program theme ‘Journeying Together and Creating Connections’.

- Five minute rapid fire presentation

This format is similar to a three-minute thesis (3MT) style of presentation, that builds on a classic 'elevator pitch'. This presentation follows different rules to traditional scientific presentations and should be focused around communicating several key messages. The challenge in this type of presentation is to explain your research clearly and concisely to an intelligent non-specialist audience in under 5 minutes. You can only have 1-3 slides for this type of presentation.

- 15 minute or 30 minute presentation

This format follows a more traditional style of scientific presentation.

3. POSTER PRESENTATIONS

For this category abstracts can be research that does not fit with the conference theme. The purpose of the posters is to showcase the breadth of activities amongst COHA members. You may want to present a poster created by students you have supervised to showcase student work. Please see abstract format and layout guidelines below. A prize will be awarded for best poster.
