The American Association for the History of Medicine (AAHM) invites abstracts for papers in any area of medical history for its 95th annual meeting, to be held in Saratoga Springs, New York, April 21-24, 2022. The AAHM welcomes papers on the history of health and healing; the history of medical ideas, institutions, nursing and medical practices; and the history of illness, disease, or public health. Submissions pertaining to all eras and regions of the world are welcome. The Program Committee, led by co-chairs Richard Mizelle (rmmizelle@uh.edu) and Julie Fairman (fairman@nursing.upenn.edu) particularly encourage papers and panels that expand the horizons of medical history, address issues of social justice and institutional racism, and engage related fields. The Program Committee seeks three kinds of submissions:
1) Individual papers and posters: Speakers should expect to give a presentation of no more than 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of discussion. A limited number of posters will also be displayed in a designated area, with planned times for discussion during the meeting. Both papers and posters must represent original work not already published or in press. Authors wishing to publish their papers are urged to submit them for consideration to the Bulletin of the History of Medicine (BHM). As the official journal of the AAHM, the BHM has the first right of refusal for papers presented at the annual meeting.

2) Panels: These consist of 3 individual papers featuring original scholarship (again limited to 20 minutes each) addressing a common topic. An appointed moderator should submit a proposal for the entire panel and coordinate individual speakers. Each speaker should submit an individual abstract as well, with a note of their participation in a panel. Please note that both panels and the individual abstracts for the papers included in them will each be judged on their own merits.

3) Lunch Workshops: Unlike the above, these are intended not for original scholarship, but to address topics of broad interest such as new themes in historiography, teaching, research methods, and advocacy. Though limited to 90 minutes, they can include several speakers with a flexible format, and only one abstract need be submitted by the organizer.

Submissions must include an abstract (of no more than 350 words) with title, your name and institutional affiliation, three key words that describe your proposed paper, and three CME learning objectives (the learning objectives are not considered part of the word count). For suggestions on developing learning objectives, see: www.histmed.org/learning-objectives. No late submissions will be accepted. Over the past two years, the number of abstracts submitted for consideration has increased significantly. The acceptance rate for proposals has decreased accordingly. With this in mind, the Program Committee offers some guidelines for writing a successful abstract.
BIG PICTURE: Provide an overview of the problem or story that your paper addresses; include the major actors and interests involved as well as the specific dates or historical time frame of your paper.
HISTORICAL/ HISTORIOGRAPHIC CONTEXT: Contextualize your problem or story within the history of medicine and/or scholarly literature..
SOURCES, ANALYSIS, AND PERSPECTIVE EMPLOYED: Discuss the methods your paper employs to address the problem or story.
SUMMARY AND IMPLICATIONS: Present your conclusion or interpretation of the narrative or problem you discuss and state its significance..
KEY WORDS: Include three key words that best describe your paper’s focus.
CME OBJECTIVES: State three Continuing Medical Education (CME) learning objectives for those seeking CME credit. Please note that such credit is vital to many AAHM members.
Note on Panels: Submitted panels that have a clear theme and coherence throughout all the papers have the best chance of being accepted.
Collections of successful abstracts from selected past programs can be found here: www.histmed.org/meetings.
Individuals are not required to be AAHM members at the time of submitting an abstract, but you must register for and be present at the meeting.
Abstracts must be submitted by 27 September 2021. No late submissions will be accepted.
