Information for Educational Sessions that inlcudeYouth Presenters

The Program Committee welcomes, but does not require, the inclusion of adolescent and young adult voices within all session track types. For those that have an accepted Educational Session proposal that includes youth presenters, we encourage you to review our Principles of Youth Engagement in Conference Presentations.

Youth Presenters include anyone between the ages of 18 and 25 who cannot be categorized under another SAHM member/attendee category, such as medical/graduate students, fellows, or trainees. For submissions that include a Youth Presenter, you will be asked to provide their name/s. For accepted Educational Sessions that includes an Unnamed Youth Presenter that was not named yet on the accepted proposal, please complete this form. There will be flexibility to replace the youth presenter named in the original proposal with a new Youth Presenter if the original becomes unavailable, up until January 15, 2025 by contacting SAHM Member Services.

Youth Presenters must complete a financial disclosure and provide a resume or CV.

For accepted Educational Sessions with a Youth Presenter(s), SAHM will waive the youth presenter(s) registration fees if they cannot be categorized under another SAHM member/attendee category. SAHM does not provide financial support for Youth Presenters’ travel, lodging, or meals except for the meals provided to attendees during conference days.

It is the expectation of the Program Committee that sessions that include Youth Presenters will engage them in the planning and delivery of the session. The SAHM Youth Engagement working group will be available to provide additional guidance and support as needed.
