17 Jul 2025 AAS Ultimate Autonomic Challenge
The American Autonomic Society invites you to participate in the 2025 Autonomic Challenge. The 8th Ultimate Autonomic Challenge will occur during the 36th International Symposium on the Autonomic Nervous System, organized by the American Autonomic Society, on November 5, 2025, from 11:30 am to 12:00 p.m.
A faculty expert panel will host a live discussion of 2 challenging clinical cases (15 minutes case presentation and 10 minutes for Q&A). The clinical cases should address a challenging autonomic disorder diagnosis and/or management dilemmas.
Please submit your case to be considered for review and presentation during the 2025 American Autonomic Society Meeting. Please submit a case report abstract (up to 800 words) including the following content.
Title and Author Information: The title of a case report should be concise, descriptive, and engaging without revealing too much detail. It must highlight the importance and novelty of the case. After the title, list the authors and their institutional affiliations. Only those who contribute intellectually to the case report should be listed as authors. The first author is responsible for presenting the case at the AAS meeting.
Introduction: A short introduction describes the context of the case and explains its relevance and importance. However, it is perfectly acceptable to begin directly with the case description.
Case Description: When reporting the case, follow the basic rules of medical communication; describe in sequence the history, physical examination, investigative studies, and the patient’s progress and outcome. The idea is to be complete without obscuring the essence of the case with irrelevant details.
Discussion: The discussion explains the reasoning behind clinical decisions and highlights key lessons from the case. It may reference supporting or conflicting literature. Effective discussions focus on a few clear teaching points and are presented concisely.
The meeting registration fee will be waived for the presenters of the two selected cases.
Submission Deadline: August 15, 2025
Please email the case report abstract and other requested information directly to Amber Millen, AAS Executive Director, at amber@americanautonomicsociety.org.
