The Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OncANP) has opened a Call for Abstracts from individuals interested in presenting at the Association’s 9th Annual Naturopathic Oncology Conference. The conference will take place Friday-Sunday,  February 28, 2020 through March 1st 2020 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

About the Association and Conference
The OncANP is a professional organization with a membership of licensed Naturopathic Physicians (NDs), naturopathic medical students and allied providers (MD, DO, NP, etc.) from across North America. Established in 2004, the OncANP is a recognized affiliate of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP).
The vision of OncANP is to enhance survival and quality of life for people living with cancer through the integration of naturopathic medicine into cancer care.

The OncANP advocates for collaboration with conventional providers, and is dedicated to advancing the science and application of naturopathic medicine within the field of standard cancer care and treatment.

OncANP Conferences typically has over 200 attendees, the majority of whom are naturopathic physicians and students, and the remainder other practitioners types.

Submissions are due by Monday, August 5th, 2019 at 9pm PDT/11:59pm EDT – no exceptions.
 
The OncANP will consider presentations that advance the practice of naturopathic oncology and integrative oncology and that have clinical relevance to physicians in practice.  A significant portion of each lecture should include the clinical application of the knowledge presented. This may include case presentations, clinical pearls, and/or practical skills/knowledge that attendees may put into practice on Monday morning.

We welcome submissions from ALL healthcare provider types including but not limited to naturopathic doctors, researchers, medical doctors, nutritionists, nurses, and all allied health providers.   The majority of the attendees are clinical naturopathic physicians, so we are seeking presentations that can be clinically relevant.

While open to ALL topics related to the practice of oncology, these areas have generated the most interest in prior conferences:

1. Innovations (new treatment agents, applications, or strategies)
2. Methods (prevention of side effects, increase effectiveness of chemotherapy, radiation and other treatments)
3. Interventions (therapeutics, supplements, vitamins, herbs, diet, lifestyle etc.) with relevance for prevention and/or treatment of cancer.
4. Strategies (for treating specific cancers, specific contributing factors, quality of life, etc)
5. Patient care (communication, counseling, etc.)
6. Outcomes (research summaries, case series)
7. Foundations (updates, overviews of Diagnosis/Screening, contributing factors, biochemical/metabolic/molecular influences)

 
Please note that online submissions must be performed in one session, so it is recommended that you have a working document that you can save and go back to if you are not prepared to complete everything at once.  
 
The selection committee will evaluate all abstracts.  Final speaker selection will be made by August 16th.  Initial lecture PowerPoints will be due November 19th.  All presentations will then undergo peer review prior to conference. Final presentations will be expected to incorporate these critiques.

The abstracts will be evaluated by the following criteria:
Value of the learning objectives
Clarity of thought
Relevance to clinical practice
Absence of commercial influence and focus
Incorporation of clinical experience

Disclosure of Financial Relationships
Any conflicts of interest must be identified and resolved prior to the individual's confirmation as a presenter at OncANP sponsored events. Should any conflicts of interest arise after confirmation as a presenter, it is incumbent upon the presenter to notify the OncANP Conference Committee immediately and prior to the presentation. The intent of this policy is not to prevent individuals from participating, but rather to identify and resolve any conflicts of interest. Should resolution be impossible, the individual cannot be a presenter. Resolution methods may include, but not be limited to, one or more of the following:    

A.   OncANP Conference Committee (for conference presentations), or Professional Education Committee (for webinars), peer review of content prior to the activity to ensure evidence-based content using best available, highest strength of evidence. The presenter must be responsive to revision requirements offered by the committee.    
B. Assignment of a different topic for the individual.    
C. Assignment of a different presenter for the topic.  
D. Cancellation of the presenter.

“Relevant financial relationships” are those in which an individual (including spouse/domestic partner) has both of the following characteristics.  

1. A personal financial relationship (any amount) with a commercial interest (any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients) in the past 12 months, whether the relationship has now ended or is currently active.
- and -
2. Presentation includes educational content addressing specific products of the commercial interest identified in #1 above (for instance, a brand owner presenting information on a product or formulation sold under that brand)(

(No disclosure needed for relationships with non-profits, government units, or entities not producing health care goods or services.)

NOTE: Relevant relationships identified on the disclosure form (including the absence of such relationships) must be conveyed to the audience in the presentation slides as slide #2 and verbally recited at the beginning of the presentation. If no slides are used, the disclosures must be stated verbally by the presenter at the beginning of the presentation.

NOTE: the presence of a relevant financial relationship does not necessarily preclude participation as a presenter, with resolution of the conflict as outlined above.
Do you have any financial relationships to disclose? *
Required
If disclosing a financial conflict please list Name of Commercial Interest, Your Relationship to Commercial Interest, and Time of involvement (indicate date range using month/year – month/year)
Any additional information you would like to share with the conference content committee.
