AICT-AsiaPCR 2021 - Take a peek at the selected science

After 8 weeks, the Calls for Scientific Abstracts and Clinical Cases were closed and more than 20 graders from the Asia-Pacific started reviewing each one of your submissions, in the most professional and impartial manner. Final decisions were made by our Course Directors, and authors of the best cases and abstracts will get to present their research.

Thinking about submitting your work to the next AICT-AsiaPCR? Becoming a presenter is a great way for you to share your work, get more visibility and to be internationally recognised for your cases and research. In short, it's a great career boost, absolutely free!
