Important Dates

Guidelines

The purpose of tutorials is to provide educational material for training new professionals in the field including students, clinicians and new researchers. Points to be considered include:

• Tutorials should be on an existing sub-discipline of MICCAI with known material, approaches and open problems.
• There should be a cohesive theme to a tutorial, e.g., methodology, organ, disease, etc.
• Tutorials should acknowledge the wide spectrum of background of the attendees within their program, and may focus on basic or advanced knowledge transfer.
• Tutorial organisers should identify the target audience and educational objectives (e.g., Continuing Medical Education guidelines might be followed).
• Proposals should have speakers and titles, and allocate presentation/discussion times per speaker no less than 30 minutes.
