Call for Abstracts

The Health Workforce Interest Group call for abstracts is now closed. Abstracts not chosen for presentation will be considered for the IG poster session and lunch. We welcome submissions for all workforce-related topics. Students and new entrants into the field are encouraged to apply.

The Health Workforce Interest Group is looking for research that will inform current workforce policy discussions and/or feature new and innovative methodological approaches to workforce research. We particularly encourage authors to submit research on:

  • Evaluation of new, innovative uses of workers as part of health systems redesign,
  • Use of workers to address social determinants of health,
  • Data about evolving staffing models (e.g., in emerging provider networks),
  • Use of new data sources (e.g., “big data”),
  • New data collection methods (e.g., licensure surveys),
  • New ways of using existing data (e.g., claims data),
  • Analysis of non-licensed occupations (e.g., aides, assistants, coordinators),
  • New methods of demand assessment (e.g., early detection systems), or
  • Other novel approaches to health workforce analysis.

Evaluation Criteria
Submissions will undergo a blind peer review and will be evaluated by the following:

  • Importance of the topic for advancing health workforce research;
  • Appropriateness of techniques and methods;
  • Quality and originality;
  • Whether the research has been completed/will be completed prior to the meeting;
  • Policy and practice implications; and
  • Clarity of writing and presentation.

Submission Deadline: January 27, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. E.T. We encourage you to submit early to ensure prompt confirmation and processing.

Abstracts that are not selected for oral presentation may be selected for poster presentations.

ARM Call for Abstracts:
AcademyHealth believes the audience for work submitted to an IG is different from the audience at the main meeting, therefore welcomes you to submit your abstract to both calls. However, IG review committees will factor acceptance to the main ARM into their deliberations. An abstract that is accepted for podium presentation in the main ARM will not be permitted to have a podium presentation at an IG meeting but can be considered for an IG poster. Submissions to interest groups must be submitted separately to the specific IG. The deadline for submission to ARM is January 12, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. E.T.
