Instructional Courses
Instructional courses are selected from submissions by PRiSM members each spring. Submissions are reviewed and graded based on the following:
- Originality
- Audience Appeal
- Diversity of speakers
- Scientific content
- Overall quality
In order for the submission to be considered, it must adhere to the following diversity checklist:
- Organizing committee and/or advisory board includes representation across: gender identities, underrepresented groups, diverse racial backgrounds and geographic regions
- Ensure gender is balanced within presentation types (especially keynotes), and across the overall program
- Program includes a wide range of presenters, across gender identities, racial groups, ability, and sexual orientation. If presentations are submissions-based, actively solicit proposals and submissions from underrepresented groups
- For the participant pool, ensure that a proportion of registration spots are reserved for participants across ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, and geographic regions
Above should also include representation across specialty, experience, and prior participation
