Call for ‘How I Do It’ Videos

Submission Deadline: November 20, 2024, 3PM ET

“Actions speak louder than words.” For surgeons, videos can often educate more effectively than other formats. The American Society of Breast Surgeons is again inviting you to submit a video showing your colleagues your tricks of the trade. Your video can be used to demonstrate how you perform a novel procedure, provide tips or tricks you use on a standard procedure, or show an approach you take to a clinical problem.

Authors of selected videos will present at ASBrS 2025, the Society's 26th Annual Meeting. The meeting will be held at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, NV, from April 30–May 4, 2025. During the presentation session, videos will be played without sound, and presenters will add their own narration from the podium.

All videos must be submitted through our video submission portal no later than 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT on November 20, 2024. Videos will be peer-reviewed by the ASBrS Online Video Library Committee, who will select the best submissions for presentation based on procedure, quality of technique and video, and interest to ASBrS membership. All video submission may be posted on the ASBrS website at the discretion of the committee. Video submissions are not eligible for awards. If you have any questions regarding the submission process, please contact Paul Bunn (pbunn@breastsurgeons.org) or call us at 877-992-5470.
