The intent of the educational programs is to provide quality sessions focused on educational content, which is free from commercial influence or bias. The MPS prohibits presentations that constitute promotion and/or advertising. This specifically includes pervasive or inappropriate used of logos. Presentations that are sole descriptions of a program, publication, or product will not be accepted nor tolerated by the participants. To this end, speakers and sponsors are prohibited from engaging in scripting, targeting points for specific emphasis or other actions designed to influence the overall content of the program. Statements made should not be viewed as, or considered representative of, any formal position taken on any product, subject, or issue by the MPS.

Acceptable file format(s) are: Microsoft Word Document (*.doc), WordPerfect Document (*.wpd), or Adobe PDF document (*.pdf). PowerPoint (*.ppt) files are not acceptable file formats.

A template file has been created to assist you in formatting your final paper.

Refer to the Speaker Session Schedule included in your speaker's packet for the correct presentation titles and event ID number. Material should be a maximum of four pages per speaking hour. One (1) speaking hour is equal to 60 minutes. Outlines are not acceptable.

• All typing should be in the Arial or Helvetica 12 pt. font.
• The presentation title should be capitalized, left justified, and bold.
• The typing format for the speaker’s name is: speaker’s first name, middle initial, last name; educational/professional degree(s), listed in highest to lowest earned degree; and abbreviations for MPS-recognized diplomat status. Typing should be left justified in Italic.
• Your Affiliation should be listed, but do not include the city and state. Typing should be left justified in Italic.
• Margins should be: top, left, and right .75”, and bottom 1”.
• Endnote and footnote features, text boxes, arrows, and lines should not be used.
• Please proofread and spell-check your materials.

Submission of tabular data is discouraged. Do not use tables containing data that could be given more succinctly in the text or focus on findings in individual processors. Please keep in mind that tables, if used, should be no wider than 7 inches. Do not format tables in landscape page orientation. Embed and position tables within your text and place captions above tables. Identify each table with a bold numeric reference.

Limit figures to those that reduce or clarify the text. To ensure high-quality reproduction, symbols used in graphs should be limited to open and closed circles, triangles, and squares; axes should be labeled in Helvetica or Arial font. Keys to symbols may be placed in a small box inserted into the unused portion of graphs. Radiographs and transparency slides will not be accepted. Photomicrographs and electron micrographs must have an internal scale marker. To express magnification using an internal scale marker, divide the length of the marker by the original magnification. Color figures are encouraged.

All submissions are due on or before: June 20, 2017 11:59 PM EST.

All program and logistic questions should be directed to Jim Cordeenator at jcoord@email.org or 821.212.1212.
