AADMD 2025 Conference: Call for Presentations and Posters

  • AADMD 23rd Annual Education Conference

    • Submission Guidelines 

    • Call for Presentations and Posters

      Please complete and submit this form to submit a proposal for a presentation or an abstract for the AADMD One Voice Conference, June 5-8, 2025, in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona.

      AADMD’s 2025 One Voice Conference theme is “Phoenix Rising: The Next Era in IDD Health.” We’ll explore how to improve healthcare to best serve the patient population with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities through our four tracks.

      Brain & Behavioral Health

      This track explores connections between Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), mental health, neurology, and the effects on overall health.

      Intersectionality

      This track examines the cumulative way in which people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) experience multiple forms of discrimination (i.e. racism, sexism, and classism), and how these overlapping experiences result in "double disparities". Proposals not only can be about examining health equity issues, but also demonstrate ideas, projects, and research to improve health equity for people with IDD.

      Curriculum

      This track highlights the work health professionals and people with lived experience are doing to create and improve upon curriculum that center people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), incorporating innovative methods and meaningful collaborations.

      Clinical Practice

      This track is an opportunity for attendees to learn and develop clinical skills in treating patients with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Proposals can include practical methods for incorporating best practices into diverse clinical practices as well as research that promises to improve patient care.

      The American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry (AADMD) works with The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) to obtain Medical continuing medical education credits and other organizations to obtain Dental and Nursing continuing education credits.
      We appreciate your help in partnering with us to follow accreditation guidelines and help us create high-quality education that is independent of industry influence. To participate as a presenter who will be able to control the educational content of this accredited CME activity, we ask that you disclose all financial relationships with any ineligible companies that you have had over the past 24 months. We define ineligible companies as those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. There is no minimum financial threshold; you must disclose all financial relationships, regardless of the amount, with ineligible companies. We ask you to disclose regardless of whether you view the financial relationships as relevant to the education. For more information on the Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education, please visit accme.org/standards.

      Why do we collect this information?
      Since healthcare professionals serve as the trusted authorities when advising patients, they must protect their learning environment from industry influence to ensure they remain true to their ethical commitments. Many healthcare professionals have financial relationships with ineligible companies. By identifying and mitigating relevant financial relationships, we work together to create a protected space to learn, teach, and engage in scientific discourse free from influence from organizations that may have an incentive to insert commercial bias into education.

      What are the next steps in this process?
      After we receive your disclosure information, we will review it to determine whether your financial relationships are relevant to the education. Please note: the identification of relevant financial relationships does not necessarily mean that you are unable to participate in the planning and implementation of this educational activity. Rather, the accreditation standards require that relevant financial relationships are mitigated before you assume your role in this activity.

      To help us meet these expectations, please use the fields below we have provided to share all financial relationships you have had with ineligible companies during the past 24 months. This information is necessary for us to be able to move to the next steps in planning this continuing education activity.

      For the Financial Relationships field below, use the following definitions:

      Name of Ineligible Company

      An ineligible company is any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. For specific examples of ineligible companies, visit accme.org/standards.

      Nature of Financial Relationship

      Examples of financial relationships include employee, researcher, consultant, advisor, speaker, independent contractor (including contracted research), royalties or patent beneficiary, executive role, and ownership interest. Individual stocks and stock options should be disclosed; diversified mutual funds do not need to be disclosed. Research funding from ineligible companies should be disclosed by the principal or named investigator even if that individual’s institution receives the research grant and manages the funds.

      Has the Relationship Ended?

      If the financial relationship existed during the last 24 months but has now ended, please check the box. This will help the education staff determine if any mitigation steps need to be taken.
