The American Association of Spinal Cord Injury Nurses (AASCIN) announces a Call for Papers and Posters for its Annual Conference. We invite you to submit abstracts that address the major theme of the conference. The intent of the conference is to create an environment for nurses to develop informal professional networking, discuss issues generated by a rapidly changing health care system, and share strategies for influencing those changes through nursing practice.

Suggested topics for presentation include nursing research, technology affecting the care of individuals with spinal cord impairment (SCI), competencybased practice, clinical advances in SCI care, aging with SCI, expanded roles and interdisciplinary teams in health promotion and disease prevention, outcomes of care, standards of practice, socioeconomic impact of disability and resource allocation, innovative nursing care systems used in SCI practice, pediatric SCI, leadership, creative resource management, stress in the workplace, critical/clinical pathways, product line management, and conflict management. You are encouraged to prepare a scholarly submission that demonstrates methods of promoting quality outcomes through innovative SCI nursing practice.
