Call for Judges


The SMFM Program Committee welcomes all members to apply to volunteer to judge abstract presentations during the 2025 Pregnancy Meeting. No prior experience scientifically evaluating research is necessary; we are looking for those who can evaluate research from all perspectives, from researchers to clinicians. Judging the science presented at the Pregnancy Meeting also provides a way to engage with SMFM for those who may not have the bandwidth for committee service.

Those interested in judging must meet the respective criteria below to be considered:
  1. Be an SMFM member. Not an SMFM member? Join here.
  2. Attend the Pregnancy Meeting in person.
  3. Researchers or those in clinical practice are welcome.
The deadline to apply is Monday, November 11, 2024. Submitters will be notified of their application status in December.

Oral Presentation Judging Process

Poster Presentation Judging Process


Note: It is likely that judges will be coauthors on abstracts in their assigned session. This is permissible, and the program committee asks that it be disclosed and that the judge refrain from judging or participating in discussions for the abstract.

Support and Acknowledgement
In the weeks before the meeting, judges will have the opportunity to participate in an informational webinar to become comfortable with judging and have any questions answered. Judges will also be recognized via the printed program book and the scrolling slides shown in the plenary sessions. Badge ribbons are also available to recognize judges.
