Extended Deadline: November 6, 2025 at 11:59 p.m.

The AAMC Forum on Conflict of Interest (FOCI) Conference leadership invites proposals and ideas for plenary and concurrent sessions at the 2026 AAMC FOCI Professional Development Conference, April 28-29, in Washington, D.C. Build your professional network and learn, reflect, and engage with colleagues by submitting a proposal to present at this unique conference.

Submitters are strongly encouraged to read the Submission Guide before logging in to submit a proposal.

All abstracts must be submitted online no later than on November 6, 2025, 11:59 PM PT. This replaces the former deadline of October 27.

We recommend that you prepare your proposal in Microsoft Word and then paste each component into the corresponding online section. A session proposal submission is considered a commitment to attend the meeting and to help organize or present at the session if accepted. Note that session submitters are responsible for the costs associated with their travel and meeting registration.

The Program Committee reserves the right to suggest proposal consolidation across or modifications to individual submissions where appropriate.

Session decisions will be sent to the primary submitter December 2025.

If you have questions or concerns on your proposal, contact foci@aamc.org.

Common Questions and Answers

Do I need to be a speaker for my suggested topic? Do I need to have a fully fleshed out topic? Not at all! It is okay to submit a topic without identified speakers or with your existing content for both breakout sessions and plenary session ideas.

Can I submit just a plenary topic? Yes! We welcome your suggestions for plenary sessions.

If I submit a plenary session idea, how involved will I have to be? While the program committee may ask additional questions on your submitted idea, your level of involvement is up to your discretion.
