What is Open Mic?

Open Mic is a proud tradition within AAEM, where attendees have the unique opportunity they have always wanted to speak at a national meeting. This open-floor format allows 16 new voices to be heard and evaluated by education committee members and conference attendees.

Open Mic participants present a 25-minute lecture (20 minutes for presentation, 5 minutes for questions) on any topic. The top two speakers of Open Mic 2021 will be invited to give a formal presentation at the 2022 Scientific Assembly in Baltimore, MD.

Submissions for AAEM21 competitions are now closed.
