The OPEN FORUM is one of the most anticipated events at the AARC Congress. Where else can respiratory therapists hear about original research conducted by and for members of their profession?
Respiratory therapists and their colleagues have presented original research in the AARC OPEN FORUM for more than four decades. The studies presented during this annual event add to the scientific evidence supporting the profession, and RTs who submit abstracts to the FORUM further their careers by demonstrating their commitment to enhancing the understanding of the treatments, techniques, and modalities therapists use every day.
Three ways to present
The FORUM offers posters-only sessions, poster discussion sessions, and an Editors’ Choice session featuring the top abstracts submitted that year. Everyone from seasoned investigators to first-time researchers can find a place to showcase their work.
Abstracts for this year’s FORUM in Phoenix, Arizona are due June 1, 2025. Begin preparing your abstract now.
