It should be in a Web-friendly format such as .mov, .mpeg, .wmf, etc. Make sure to identify your name, title, institution and proposed paper title at the beginning of the video. The video may be emailed to Lynn Reyes at lreyes@ama.org or sent to Lynn Reyes via a free file transfer site such as www.mongofiles.com if the file is very large. Note that if you plan to submit your proposal via video, you must still complete the online paper proposal form.
