Poster Abstracts
The 2025 Mayo Clinic Wound Symposium: The Edges of Wound Care will feature a poster session with the goal of sharing knowledge, showcasing participants’ work, and stimulating dialogue among conference attendees. All approved posters will be displayed at the symposium. The top 2 posters will be invited to present an oral presentation at the live symposium on February 26, 2025.
Posters can feature data-driven original research on any aspect of wound care, describe innovative clinical programs or projects related to the assessment and treatment of wound patients, or explicate training methods used to increase clinician effectiveness in evaluating such patients.
Participants are encouraged to submit projects highlighting programs and initiatives that impact the practice, education, research, and administrative environments in health care, and abstracts that provide evidence and successful models for engaging targeted stakeholders and constituents and advancing health care delivery.
We invite you to take advantage of the unique opportunity and submit an abstract to be presented as a poster during the Wound Symposium: The Edges of Wound Care 2025. Submission due date: October 1, 2024, 5:00 PM CST.

Case abstracts submission due date is January 1, 2025, 5:00 PM CST. The organizing committee will review each submitted case presentation and submitters will be notified by January 15, 2025, of a decision. Final PowerPoint presentations (5 slides maximum) are due by February 1, 2025. Accepted abstract presenters will receive complimentary registration to the Wound Ambassador Dinner.
