Points to note:

  • Each presenter is provided up to 15 minutes, including discussion.
  • There will be an award for the top presentation selected by the audience.
  • You need to be a registered attendee of the Congress of Clinical Rheumatology to present a case.

THIEVES’ MARKET SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

  • Daytime Phone Number
  • Evening Phone Number
  • Email Address
  • Brief paragraph describing the proposed presentation and title

Note: Fellows need to register to present a case. A fellow may present the same case at both NYRIF and Thieves’ Market, but the format would need to be adapted accordingly.

The following rules apply:

  • Submit a truly unique case with extremely high educational value.
  • Presentations must be in PowerPoint© format and should be 10 minutes in length, allowing 5 minutes for questions.

While there is an emphasis on pictorial displays of interesting physical findings or imaging studies, each case should include:

  • A brief introduction
  • A summary at the end of the presentation
  • A limited number of relevant references at the end of the case

Cases that are excessively long or in formats other than PowerPoint© cannot be reviewed.
