SAWC Fall 2025 is now accepting submissions through Monday, June 2, 2025, until 8:00 AM EST. Acceptance/Decline notifications will be sent out the week of Monday, June 30, 2025.
The Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) is committed to providing the highest level of clinical education and information for physicians, nurses, physical therapists, researchers, podiatrists, and dietitians involved in wound healing or wound care issues.
To be accepted to present an oral or poster abstract during the upcoming SAWC meeting, each proposed presentation must be described in an abstract. These abstracts are blind-reviewed by a panel of expert judges. Each abstract will be reviewed based on specific criteria for the category in which it is placed. Therefore, it is very important for the author to specify which category the abstract should be entered.
Abstract Presentations
You may select one of the three (3) presentation types for consideration:
Poster Presentation
Oral (Podium) Presentation
Poster Presentation if not selected for Oral (Podium) Presentation
Additionally, you may also select to be considered for
Rapid Fire Poster Talks
It is important to note that commercial interests are not eligible to participate in the SAWC Oral Abstract or Grand Rounds sessions as those sessions are for CE credit. The ACCME, ACPE, ANCC and CPME defines a “commercial interest” as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients with the exemption of non-profit or governmental organizations and non-healthcare related companies.

Intent to Present
Upon acceptance notification, SAWC will require proof of registration for all accepted abstract presenters (poster and oral/podium).

The badge number can be found on your registration confirmation. Instructions on this process will be included in your acceptance e-mail. Even though you may be registered for SAWC, intent to present must still be submitted. If the intent to present is not submitted by the date included in your acceptance e-mail, the abstract will be withdrawn.
