The Abstract Sprint: Writing a WCMSR-Ready Abstract

13 March 2027 · Saturday · 14:00–15:30 UTC · Free online session

Intention. Turn a completed or sufficiently advanced project into a concise, accurate conference abstract with a clear contribution.

What you will take away

  • Identify the question, design, key result, and meaningful conclusion.
  • Edit for clarity within eligibility, structure, and word limits.
  • Avoid overclaiming and prepare a final pre-submission check.

Why this matters for medical students

The abstract is often a student’s first doorway into scientific exchange. Strong abstracts report what was actually done and make the value legible to reviewers.

Applied activity: Use a timed rewrite and peer-feedback checklist.

People behind the session

Meet the contributor. Chloe C. Carrington brings direct WCMSR abstract and conference experience to a hands-on writing sprint.

Chloe C. Carrington

Medical student, University of Queensland–Ochsner, USA · IJMS Junior Associate Editor

Chloe has worked on IJMS and WCMSR abstract-submission, selection, and presentation logistics, including conference leadership roles. She can translate that behind-the-scenes perspective into practical guidance on eligibility, abstract format, clear reporting, and navigating the WCMSR portal.

Why her perspective helps: students can prepare an abstract that is both scientifically honest and ready for the actual submission workflow.
