The ASMIRT Conference will integrate the Student Conference in 2021 for the first time. The conference will be held 4 – 7 June 2021 in Melbourne with the student conference room running presentations on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 June.
This new format is designed to give student delegates the opportunity to present to the wider audience and have a chance to answer questions from all delegates, a valuable learning experience indeed. Students can submit an abstract for oral presentation or a poster exhibit. Students are welcome to submit their oral presentation in the traditional presentation style or make use of the Pecha Kucha presentation style, as described in the Abstracts section of this website.
Abstracts .
Abstract submissions are now closed.
Help our student presenters expand their presentation experience within the medical radiation sciences by visiting them at the ASMIRT-NZIMRT 2021 Conference. They will be sharing case studies and scenarios they have encountered; raising issues they think need debating and bouncing ideas around on topics of interest that matter to all MRS students and registrants.
