    • Subspecialty Day Faculty: Outlines
  • Subspecialty Day Faculty: Outlines

  • Each year, the Academy produces a syllabus book for each Subspecialty Day program that contains presenters' talk outlines. Moderators and panelists are not required to submit an outline.

    Subspecialty Day syllabi provide a valuable resource that can be used as an educational reference. Since presentation times vary from 5 - 10 minutes, presenters can use their outlines to expand on their topic beyond the time available in the actual presentation.

    The following guidelines are designed to help presenters organize and format their outline so that it conforms to the Academy's syllabus style guidelines. All outlines are reviewed by a medical editor and sent to a designer to create the uniform style of the syllabus. Our goal is to have the highest quality syllabus; outlines that do not meet these guidelines will be returned for revision.

    Submitting Your Completed Outline

    We require an electronic version of your presentation. Email your presentation to subday@aao.org.

    Length

    Minimum of one page and a maximum of two pages long.

    General Information: Content

    Outlines should include current and clinically relevant material, especially material such as tables and illustrations that will supplement the lectures. Outlines may be in traditional outline form, or in essay form - see below. All outlines will be formatted and reviewed by an editor and the program directors.

    The outline should be an original work that was not previously published in part or whole in another publication. Including your work in the syllabus does not restrict the author from publishing this material in another publication after the meeting, however it is the responsibility of the author to advise the publication that the information was included in a Subspecialty Day syllabus and in the AAO on Demand product. In addition, the Academy will maintain the right to use this information in other publications in the future.

    Authors and Financial Disclosure

    Type your full name and the title of your presentation as the first two lines of your outline. Names of additional authors may be listed, if these individuals have made significant contributions to the research project or the content of the presentation. Each person listed with your outline must submit a CME financial disclosure to the Academy.

    Tables and Illustrations

    Outlines may include graphs, tables, computer graphic images and/or photographs. These should be sent as separate files for publication. See information below.

    Patient Information

    Your text, images and video(s) should contain no specific patient information. Review How to Ensure Your Presentation Complies With HIPAA Law.

    Abbreviations and Acronyms

    Restrict abbreviations to those that are widely used and understood and avoid abbreviations that have meaning only in context of your outline. Spell out all acronyms at first appearance.

    Drug/Manufacturer Names

    Use generic names in the text body and include the trade name of a particular drug, in parentheses, only after the first use of the generic name. In the case of equipment, include the manufacturer’s name, city, state, or country.

    Traditional Outline Format

    • Type everything flush left; do not insert tabs.
    • Identify each element with the appropriate number or letter.
    • Do not use your word processing program’s automatic list generating function (Auto Format, Bullets, Numbering or Multilevel List).

    Introduction

    There are well over 5 billion people on this planet and every one of us either is or will be presbyopic. Advances in refractive surgery over the past decade have brought tremendous strides in the treatment of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Our next great challenge is the surgical treatment of presbyopia. In this presentation, I would like to discuss an innovative new IOL design, which may prove to be an answer to the problems of presbyopia for many individuals.

    Background Observations

    All of us who perform IOL implantation have patients who feel that they do not need glasses after cataract surgery. Objective evaluation of these patients often confirms that the uncorrected distance and near acuity is quite good.

    In my experience . . .

    Case Presentations

    Provide a brief, pertinent history and case summary including operative course, postoperative results and conclusions.

    Pro/Con Debates

    Provide a brief paragraph on your position without giving your argument away. References can be included.

    Video Presentations

    Provide a brief synopsis of your video for presentation.

    Graphs, Tables, and Charts

    All graphs, tables and charts should be sent as separate files for publication. Submit them either via an email attachment or file transfer service.

    To ensure proper placement type “Insert Graph/Table/Chart Here” in your outline where you wish the illustration to appear. This text will be removed when your outline is edited. If you have more than one graph, table or chart, please number each and include the proper numbers in the insertion instructions (for example: “Insert Graph #2 Here”).

    All graphs, tables and charts should include a title or legend.

    Using an Existing Graph, Table or Chart

    If a table or graph is borrowed from another publication, please ensure that you have permission to reproduce it before submitting it to the Academy. List the source in a note underneath the table or graph, including the words “Reprinted by permission.”

    If you plan to use a scanner to reproduce an existing graph, table or chart, please follow the resolution and size requirements outlined in the Computer Graphic Images section below.

    Creating Tables

    Create tables using your word processor program’s table function. Please do not create tables using tabs as the format is lost when the data is transferred.

    Use adequate titles for each column heading in your table. All abbreviations must be explained in the legend.

    Computer Graphic Images and Photographs

    All images should be sent as separate files for publication. Submit them either via an email attachment or file transfer service.

    To ensure proper placement type “Insert Image Here” in your outline where you wish the image/photograph to appear. This text will be removed when your outline is edited. If you have more than one image, please number each and include the proper numbers in the insertion instructions (for example: “Insert Image #2 Here”). Also, include or identify any text that corresponds to the image, such as title, figure notes or source notes.

    Scanning/Saving Images

    Most computer graphic images and photographs should be saved as a TIFF file with a preferred resolution of 300 dpi and a minimum width of 3”.

    Simple tables, graphs and drawings (line art) should be scanned at a resolution of 1200 dpi or higher and saved as a Bit Map file.

    Using an Existing Image or Photograph

    If you are using someone else’s images, please ensure that you have permission to reproduce it before submitting it to the Academy. List the source in a note underneath the image, including the words “Reprinted by permission.”

    References

    All outlines should include at least 3 to 5, but not more than 10, clinically relevant references.

    • List your references at the end of your document (as endnotes) instead of as footnotes.
    • Do not use your word processing program’s note function to embed the notes in the text.
    • Type all references flush left, without tabs.
